Is this an ACR (automatic compression release) engine?

A 1967 model engine will have the ACR.

To get a true reading you would need to do a leak down test.

I don't know much about engines but I don't think It matters if it

has compression  release or not for testing

As the piston reaches TDC the exhaust valve lifts slightly at low RPMs to make it easier to crank over.

Open this atachment and read it over.
