160-170 on all cylinders but 6. It had 35. So I shot some oil into the cylinder and it jumped to 135. Then back to 35......

So No.6 is hurt. Likely a piston or ring I guess.

So out comes the 250..............
Don't feel bad. My new 66 was running a little rough so I compression tested it. Bad piston or ring in #2 and a burnt valve in #6. That'll be a winter project.
