1975-Plugs are good, cap and rotor are good, firing order is correct. No compression on number six cylinder. With a little luck, I'll find out why this evening. I'll confess I haven't done much with adjusting the idle or timing while chasing down the compression issue.
Dennis-without an id tag, how do I tell if the carb is a 2100 or 2150? With a little luck, it won't matter, but with MY luck....

Pulled the valve cover...both valves appear to be functioning. No visible damage. Had the girl next door turn the engine over with the key, and both valves opened and closed. I'm going to put some compressed air into the cylinder head tonight and see where it goes...

You could squirt some oil down the cyl and see if that increses the compresion if so sounds like rings. also frist thing to do it make sure the valves are not to tite. they might be moving but if they are not closeing all the way you wont have any compression. also the differnt comprision amounts could be your cause for dieing in gear.

The fact that you have that accelerator pump type rod on the front of the carb makes me think it is an older 2100 instead of the 2150.
I'm looking for a pic of the 2100 right now.

I think you have found your problem, Put compressed air into the #2 and #6 spark plug holes and listen for air. You will find the problem by just following the hissing noise. Good luck, Gary
