The compression is low (about 85 to 95 PSI on all cylinders) and vacuum is almost nonexistant. The compression is low because the head was replaced with a head from an older engine (57?) that had larger combustion chambers and the engine does have some wear.

I have not been able to find any manifold intake leaks so I have know idea why it is so low. Any thoughts?
