     Here we go:  120-120-105-120.   The 105 could have been read as 100 but it was JUST A BIT above 100 so I made it 105.  The 120s were all like exactly 120.  Let me know what you all think about Betty's performance. 

[Dj:Eep]

Pretty good.  That 105 is in #3, correct?  #3 is famous in the pre-doghouse buses for going first.  Sounds like she's got some life left in her, but keep an eye on that cylinder: valves, compression, missing, etc. so if it does take a turn for the worst, you can catch it before it does any other damage.

I was hoping to hear from you Mr. DJ!  Yep that 105 was on #3.  Just to add a bit:  All of the plugs (which had about 600 miles on them) looked GREAT except cylinder#4.  That plug had tons of carbon on it.  I have to look up what that means.

Thanks for your reply!!!!
