Yes, gasoline will kill the compression if there is a lot of it. Did you get compression back when you put ATF in? Have you been running the car? Did it spill gas just sitting there?

I was going to ask if this was carbed or not but I forgot. I am not too familiar with carbs but checking for vacuum problems would be on the top of my list.
On a side note, people have said that ATF is not good for oil seals, I have used it before though, so I think some regular oil or Marvels Mystery Oil would be a better choice. It is one of those unproven things but since some are saying it is not a good idea, and since there is a good alternative, I will go wil oil or MMO from now on.
