72 Compression test

[Roscoe95]

Just ran a compression test on my 72 302. made one error in not warming up first but had 120-125 on all eight. Would i expect to see higher results after warming?

Probably not.
Not that warming isn't desired for best sealing, but those numbers actually look like what I would expect from a '72 if it's still all stock.
If it's been rebuilt, modified or a different cam has been installed, then you could get higher/lower numbers, but again, 120-ish is what I would have expected.

Very tight numbers actually. Looks good.
And yes, I know it's a big fat pain in the butt to do it again, but if you want to be sure, warm it up and re-test.
Did you also hold the carburetor/throttle body blade(s) all the way open during the test?
