Compression tester
Good evening!
I'm having fun with my '73 wagon, loosing plugs and sockets behind the tin, scraping knuckes on shocks and finding arthritis in different parts of
my hands than the usual spots. Anyway, what is a good style of tester to check the compression? I've seen straight ones, short angled ones and long
screw in ones. Or should I take it to my local garage to get it checked. I just want to make sure all is ok before I start spending on the wrong
bits.
Thanks Neil.

i find the easiest kind is one with a long hose, and a screw in attachment on the end with the pressure guage on the end of the hose, because of the
design of the engine u cant really use the short kinds.
