Thanks Clarence and Gary. I rented a new compression tester and cylinder #4 pumps up to 60psi, zero compression on the other cylinders. The rotor inside the distributor cap does not turn when cranking the engine.
I'm a little beyond my skill level at this point so I don't understand exactly what is going on inside the engine. But I'm thinking there is something substantially wrong here, and this engine needs to be rebuilt or replaced? Is an engine rebuild a difficult project? Replacement would be easier? I have the red service manual (and the Bentley) and I can follow instructions well. I'm also located near two good Saab resources (East of Sweden and Mile High Saab in Boulder/Denver, Colorado) so I have that to fall back on. I just want this to be a good-running weekend car.
Again, this is a 1976 99GL 2-door notchback.
Thanks for any advice or suggestions!
David
