No need to get hostile. Soundguy knows more than most when it comes to old fords.
I agree that it isn't a compression issue in terms of ring wear. But stuck valves do happen. And yea it is possible to drive 100' and have one hang. Cause last time it was parked and started fine it might not have stopped with the can holding that calve open and this time it did.
And to be clear, no one is saying tear it apart cause that's the issue. We are all just throwing out ideas. Check the easy stuff first. And if it is getting good hot spark, and still won't pop with fas or starter fluid spraid directly in the intake, the problem isn't likely to be fuel or spark related at all. I think that's all he is trying to point out. And the fact that a comp test is pretty easy to do.
