Type I bus: high-altitude engine compression

Post by whc03grady » Tue Jun 07, 2011 7:31 am

What should a 1600 dp's compression be at around 10,000 feet?
Ludwig--1974 Westfalia, 2.0L (GD035193), Solex 34PDSIT-2/3 carburetors.
Gertie--1971 Squareback, 1600cc with Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection from a '72 (E brain).

At 10,000ft the pressure drop to about 70%, did some number crunching... So with if it starts at 120lb, I'd say around 85lb's.
