Hey Skip do you recall what your cranking compression might have been on your 400 with the 2801 cam.

The OP stating that he’s got only 120 psi with number 62 heads on the motor sounds low , and even considering that the 1977 pistons have a chamfer on there OD.

His erratic vacuum reading makes me wonder if his Cam is retarded.
