Thanks for the help !

I had to put littel pieces of tape on the wires to indicate what cyl. was what.

BTW, is 60 psi good compression for a 350 V8?

Crank the engine six revolutions so as to get a good compression reading.
You'll be able to count the revolutions as you crank and you'll also see the compresson gauge come up to the max and additional cranking won't raise it any higher.

60 is good for the first stroke about 70 is optimal on a 350, but yes... you want 6 revolutions or 3 compression strokes to get a full compression reading
