compression test on 318

[Paul Lennemann <pjlenn@xxxxxxxxx>]

I ran a compresssion test on the 318 that I salvaged out my parts car.  
As I said a few days ago I was told it was running when parked 2+ years 
ago.  I shot a little oil into each of the cylinders and ran my test.  
The results were sad.  #1=50, #3=30, #5=30, #7=30, #2=35, #4=5, #6=20, 
#8=0.  When I pulled the plugs none were heavily coated with carbon or 
exceptionally black and sooty.  They looked to me to be pretty typical 
for an engine of that vintage w/70K+ miles on it.  This is a solid 
lifter engine, right?  Which would eliminate lifters that had bled down. 
 Could it be some stuck valves, or am I in denial?
