A while ago but my wires on some melted to the headers I just taped them up it seemed to still run fine. Before I changed to an edelbrock intake and professional products 70 mm throttle body and spacer

the distributor cap is cracked...look for carbon traces...shower it in WD-40 and see if it fires right up~

leak down is when you have a compression gauge and a stop watch...see how long it takes to reach ambient pressure conditions...comparatively can be useful data to find out which cylinder is weakest...can be done wet (with a few drops from the oil can) or dry (commando)~
