Bad are burnt intake or exhaust valve. Pistion rings broken, Burned pistion. Blown head gasket. That is all that would cause no compression are a loss of compression.
When it was new it had 150 PSI. per cylinder
NO. It should start at about 150 LBS. PER cylinder. And you can't have anymore then a 15 Lb. difference in any cylinder, are the engine will idle rough.

65 ft lbs.
235 Cubic Inch inline 6 cylinder and 283 Cubic Inch V8. Optional was the 283 Fuel Injected V8. The vast majority had the 283.
YES. That is a direct bolt on with no problems. The heads will bolt on, but the compression ratio will be different. Depending on which heads and which pistons, the compression ratio could be a lot different.
No, Ford has never built a 283. The 283 is a Chevy engine.
Chevrolet did not build the 283 in 1968. The 1967 Chevy 283 had from 195-315 hp depending on how it was set up.
The distributor cap order for a Chevy 283 varies depending on the year of the motor. A 1975 to 1991 has the number one cylinder at the top just to the left of center. The 1967 to 1974 distributor has the number one cylinder at the top just to the right of center. The firing order is 1, 8, 4, 3, 6, 5, 7, 2.
A 6 cylinder should get around 18 and a 283 V8 get around 15. Depends allot on how it is driven.
