Can anyone please let me know what the compression on a 1500 should be?  I
can't seem to find it anywhere in my Haynes manual.  I'm going to buy a '78
Spit 1500 today (see thread "Possible parts car") but the price will depend
somewhat on the engine condition (its not running now) and I think a
compression test is probably the easiest and most telling indication of the
engine, but I can't remember what a good reading is.  

Thanks,
David Gates
