Re: What am I missing? 1930 Model A
Check the compression by hand cranking the engine. If one or more cylinders are down you may have one or more stuck exhaust valves that J Franklin suggested. You should have even resistance on all 4 cylinders when cranking quickly. Do that with the ignition off. Cranking slowly will tell you if you have rings or valves that have a partial leak.
