Looks ok. But maximum pressures are dependent on cam timing, compression ratio and cranking rpm.

the only reading that matters is the first jump of the needle. it may take a few tries to get the correct number.

70 L camino, grampa engine, g-force 5 spd, road rage suspension. Pray first before all else fails.

Was the throttle wide open during testing? #2 and #4 stick out little. Was it warm or cold?

Are you chasing a misfire?

The only thing that I see is that 2,4, & 8 are not w/in 10% of each other (13psi)

Where ye be?

For me, at 4,670' in Western CO....those #s are fairly decent
