What is a decent compression for the 1929 Plymouth engine?

I would say between 38-40pound
But mainly to have consistant figures between all cylinders

When I recently checked mine, it ranged between 58-62 across. Dry test.

I agree with all, especially Ian's statement:

"But mainly to have consistent figures between all cylinders"
