i wanted to mention that these plug wires screw into the dist cap, the ebay seller thought they pulled out and tore one out.. no biggie i can recrimp it onto the bolt type end, but just wanted to let others know so they dont do the same thing.

Your compression is pretty typical, as they are all 80 - 90 PSI. As long as all cylinders are within 15% of each other, the compression is fine.
