Thread: 18/85 Series III compression test

Does anyone know what range of compression readings one should expect for a 40's 18/85 Series III or similar vintage 6 cylinder engine? I just ran a cold test and got 115,115,110,105,110,120 (psi). Difference between highest and lowest is 12.5% which I think seems to be ok (just).
