Thanks for your input guys. You've made me think twice about my first plans and think more about keeping her. I know I would probably feel bad and kick myself if I did sell her. I do have another question; it may sound stupid to more mechanically inclined guys than myself but I honestly don't know the answer. How do you know when or if your car needs an engine rebuild? Mine does not use any oil where I have to add any between changes. It doesn't produce blue exhaust, black or gray, yes, but no blue. It runs great and is not down on power that I can notice. It just wants to die every time I slow down to a stop. Are there different levels of engine rebuild, such as just needing new rings, or a new cam and lifters, and not always needing complete machine work such as reboring, decking, etc.? I read that the compression in a 302 should be 190 per cylinder. Mine has between 160-170 in each one. Good or bad? No problem or too low for such a high compression engine? Thanks again for your input.
