Jim,
First of all, it is a good idea to steam clean the engine to make it easier to find the leaks. Strong suspects on the engine are rear main, fuel pump mounting gasket, seal in timing chain cover --- that is if your pan gasket is okay.
As for my engine, it is original, I bought the car new and have maintained it myself.
The spark plugs I am using are Champion RF11YC. You can get them at any parts house.
You can also get a repair kit for the 4100 at Napa, I think you have problems there.
I would also install new pug wires and ck. the dist. cap, including the sockets that the wires go in, I have found a problem there.
The comp. figures sound okay and the engine sounds like it can be saved.
Good luck,
Joe
