OK, OZ, here is what I found out.
First. Off the manifold vacuum line, it wiggles slightly between 16 and 17, but no higher or lower at idle.
The compression test gave me this.
1-170
2-150
3-150
4-140
5-140
6-160
7-150
8-150
All of the plugs looked good, but most had some amount of oil on the threads, none on the end, though.
What d'ya make of these numbers?

PS You were right. It wasn't that hard--short of keeping your fingers from getting burned on the exhause while you try to thread the hose for the compression test in. . .
