I got the car started with a little resistance, when it warms up that really drags it down. I got the car on the lift; first thing I checked was the starter connection it has corrosion, and rust. By the time I got the junk moved so I could get the car on the lift I was wore out. Lake pipes made it hard also; I had to raise the car with a floor jack to get the arms under. The battery still had a charge so maybe that's not the problem. I will clean the cables, and starter post if that doesn't help I'll try to figure out how to check the timing. I will pull the spark plugs like it was mentioned. I hope I don't have antifreeze in the cylinders. I had that happen to a 41 Plymouth that will for sure make them hard to turn over.
I'll check out the Fordbarn also.
Thanks, Richard
