RE: Too weird: now compression tester stuck?

[Jeff Adams <ledman_70@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I CAN tell you what can happen with a bad condenser... I had a 396 Chevy 
(ich, that left a bad tatse in my mouth saying that) in a 66 GTO and 
when I did a tune up on it, I forgot to replace the condenser. The car 
started up and ran so bad when I revved it up it backfired and blew a 
header muffler clear out the rear of the car. Changed the condenser and 
it ran like a top.
