Vette(s): 1969 L-46 convertable blue with bright blue interior
I have a 69 350/350 with 11:1 compression ratio. What should the PSI on a compression test read?

Ideally, not more than 10% variation between cylinders. If you are up to 20%, the car will run okay, but not quite right. You may not notice.

which is pretty consistent with the maximum 20 PSI allowable variance which equals 13%
