    My guess is that he means the engine had low compression in one cylinder.

    How ya doin', Jesse?

    Say hello to Cammie Lou for me.

    Sold a rusty front and rear at Hershey this Fall for $50.00 and was happy to get it. Have another front and rear that I'd be more than happy with $40.00. An A engine, just an unknown lump is about $50.00 here on the East Coast. A runner might bring 200-250.
     
  7. (not that it is an A motor per say) but a the Turlock swapmeet there was a "C" motor (a counterbalanced "B") for sale at $750.00

    from Texas .

    Even if an A engine runs, that REALLY does not mean much. It can run and still need a total rebuild
