I was kinda wanting to do a compression test on each cylinder just to see what they are reading. Does anyone know what the pressures should read? I have been looking around and have not found any exact values.
If I recall, my 305A v6 (1960) was supposed to be around 120-125 psi .

I guess the real key is that all of the cylinders should be within 10% of each other.
