    Hey guys., I have a 72 Skylark with a 350 2bbl and a lot of smoke and oil usage. What compression should it have?? I just did a compression test and here are the results. Starting with the left bank 130, 135, 125,and, 120 lbs. Right bank 145,135,170, and lastly125 lbs. What ddoes this all mean??? Seems fairly consistent except the one cylender(#6) and that is high not low. Can't believe a 72 should have much more the average of most of my cylenders. I'm no expert so you tell me if you can. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, guys, Woody.
