Thanks Dave for the guidance. Truely appreciate it.
The through hull valve was open as I closed it when I pulled the pump cover. Was interesting as I see these typically have an o-ring or gasket, but mine did not.
Separately, when I did the tune up, I did take the plate off that holds the points/condenser, and tested the advance springs (tip on the MM video). They seemed to be in working order, but will test as you suggest.
A bit rainy here in the bay area, so wont be able to do the compression test for a few days, but will report back.
I did not recall seeing a valve on the water intake past the T, but wasn't looking for it either.
Update in a few days.
Happy New Year!
Pete
