You are talking psi, right?  Something isn't right there - I don't believe
the car would start, let alone drive with numbers like that.

Since you cannot afford the mechanic, I'd call the local TR chapter, get a
few folks over at the weekend and order a pizza (much cheaper).

Hi and thanks to everyone who gave me comments on the carburetor.  So turns
out it wasn't a carb problem, but a compression problem  #1-75, #2-55, #3-55
and #4-0.  Even though he explained it to me, all I heard was the expensive
price, which is not in my budget right now.  Am I doing any damage to the
car if I drive her this way.  I always check the oil and fill it when
needed.  Is there a cheaper temporary fix?
