Burnt Exhaust Valve......
I just put a 79 truck 350 in my car and the thing has a burnt exhaust valve. 100% leakdown on cylinder 1 
The car runs and I drove it from the shop to my house (2 blocks) and parked it. Can I drive the car around like it is without hurting the motor or am I better off just parking it?

you'll get a lot uf unburnt fuel from #1, plus it'll run bad, like you didn't know that. i'd park it and fix it, good chance if you have one burnt the others aren't in real good shape either.

I don't have any unburned fuel though. It is more like a bad miss. I think the guy that worked on it just didn't want to work on it anymore and came up with an excuse to make me come pick up the car. I thought I would smell a lot of raw gas but I don't smell any. Wierd
