[TR] and speaking of engine performance

[Jim Muller]

The other day I got around to measuring the GT6's compression again, 
checking the valves first.  #1 was tighter than it should've been.  
Don't know why, but after I re-adjusted it it read 140 as compared to 
the previous 120 or below.  Okay, chalk that up to mechanic's error, 
I guess.  (I wonder who that was.)

Drove it to work today but it still didn't like rev'ing above 
3500rpm, would start missing about 3000.  Ordered up a new tune-up 
set, dizzy cap, rotor, points, condensor today.  Put some dry-gas in 
the tank and drove around for 15 minutes but I'm not sure it helped.  
They're predicting possibly heavy T-storms tomorrow so I'll drive the 
van.  Maybe the GT6 will get the message.

In the meantime I'm open to suggestions.
