Thanks,
Went to the salvage yard today and the car was abandoned , left to be towed off , and auctioned to the present salvage yard
No key and attempted to jumper the switch to start it up and see the mileage on it
No joy but got her to chime the security system with external power and no power to the dash
Looking to see the mileage and if the engine is in salvageable mileage range
Will attempt to remove the ignition switch from the key barrel and just rotate the switch fully connected and wired up
Popped the trunk and charging battery up for a Wednesday try
I am use to doing stationary compression test on aircraft piston engines where there is a specific set of numbers as a standard , tested once a year by law and entered into the legal aircraft maintenance logbook . In this case the numbers are for comparison
First priority is to see the mileage , start the engine expecting some tinkering , run for awhile reconditioning the piston rings , then a compression test
160 - 167 Psi with a 7 psi spread between cylinders at 300 RPM min
