yep, i wouldn't say that is horrible but obviously the battery has been drained a bit of power as it's below the static level of 12.6v minimum(at the battery). you'll need a good powerful battery for the issue you're describing to get the cranking RPMs back up in hopes of overcoming the flooding situation. also try holding the throttle wide open, it allows more air to get to the engine to compensate for low compression from the rebuild.

biggest battery that will fit the tray with the largest amount of cold cranking amps you can find.
i headbang when i see people using those garden tractor batteries... 10 seconds and the battery is dead. for 15lbs weight savings? pass on the cheeseburgers.

Also could low compression cause a lower vacuum because the few times it ran. It was only pulling about 16 to 17 in.hg. Shouldn't it be around 20 to 25 in.hg.

This is a lil video when i got it started yesterday my ipod ran out of video space so its kinda short but it ran like that for about a good 8 minutes then it died. I shouldve gave it gas to keep it goin but i was getting something from my tool box. Then after that she wouldnt start agin even after it cooled down a couple hours later. But when i started it in that video it fired right up first start of the day. I dont get it.

When you can get the car running for a while you might want to focus on the alternator output to see if it is putting out enough voltage to keep the car running properly. If it doesn't then the car will eventually die. Not saying this is your problem, but it is a possibility especially if your voltage gauge is accurate for it appears to be fairly low as it needs to be about 14 to 14.4 volts while idling and no load draining components on such as fan, A/C, lights etc. The most accurate place to measure the alternator output is at the Black cable bolted to the alternator.

So I got the car to start agin today first crank it backfired then I tired to crank it agin it fired right up. So I let it run a bit and i took a measurement at the alternator and it's getting 14.4 v so that's all good. Then I turned it off after it warmed up to try to start it agin and then got nothin it's pretty strange .
