1929 chevy coca cola truck

I have an orignial 29 chevy coca cola 1 ton truck . was stored 35 years, the engin is not stuck ,but it only has 25 to 35 lbs compression.what is the normal compression, it is a 6 cylinder.does any one have pictures of the eng you could post. need help with this one . i work on model A most of the time.

 

i'm not familiar with that motor , but that sounds VERY low. i think that is a OHV engine...maybe the valves are sticking?

 

It is an over head valve ,1929 was the first year for this eng . it has an up draft carb, we have good fire to the plugs . any tricks to getting more compression. without tearing down eng.

 

76 at cranking speed

 

Have you oiled the cyls.?

 

Please do an intro.

1929 was the first "stovebolt". The OHV inline 6. Google Chevrolet 6, they have a good writeup on the early 6 cyl.

Put some oil in the clinders and spin it over a few times. The compression should come up at least some.

OldBuzzards type slow....

 

I have a complete engine / trans that I pulled out of my 29 sedan to make room for an upgrade.

Ran good but leaks a fair amount of oil. I pulled it last winter.

No idea what the compression is.

Send me a pm if you cant get your running and have any interest - located on Wisconsin 53074.

 

How fast is it cranking? Makes a huge difference.
