Thanks guys! Compression checked out at 180 across all 6 cylinders, i rebuilt the carbs and replaced fuel pump, distributor water pump, spark plugs and wires. I am replacing the oil pump soon although i checked the oil pressure and its perfect I still would like to change it for the sake of "no worries". I recently tuned it and it runs really good! It needs a few things here and there as any 40+ y/o car but it was a single owner and garage kept. Awesome condition! I am looking forward to restoring this and modding it a bit here and there. I need new wheels since they are steel and sat in a garage not moving for 5+ years it got some pits in the wheel lug bolt holes >_<! Probably grab some work equips in the next month or 2 All of the bushings are still good too! Lucky! Everything works, so I guess I got a good fresh start for a project. I am gonan save up for a robello 3.0 tripple web carb! I was planning a rb26 swap but I just love the way carb engines sound! So much fun!

Honestly? No.
But there was so much crap in my air box (leaves, sand, etc) that I can only imagine it did SOME good...
