Hi Goose, I was at one time parked right in front of the NC Army headquarters on an LSD (Alamo LSD-33). Had a whole bunch of steps leading up to the entrance if you remember.

That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi.
