RE: Compression test results

that sounds like the symptoms I had when the nylon teeth came off mycam timing gear. To check, take off the distributor cap and manually turn the engine backwards. You should get a nearly immediate movement in the distributor rotor. You may want to turn it back and forth a few time to see how many degres the crank will turn before the rotor moves. If you don't get nearly immediate movement, drain the oil and check for little nylon splinters. If you find these splinters, it is bad, you'll need to tear down the engine to clean it all out. Those splinters will clog up the oil pick-up screen, so you may also notice a lose of oil pressure if you have a high volume pump.

Those gears tend to give up in the winter when you start a cold engine.

I hope this isn't your problem, and that it is something simple like bad wires, my cj also tends to develop sudden problems when the wires get old.
This thread, so far...
