Anyone know what the normal compression should be for this engine? It'a a '74 Siver Starflite 135. I believe I am getting 110-120 on each cylinder.<br />I think that's pretty good on a 30 year old motor...<br />what do ya'll think?

If the readings are true, that's darn good for that engine. Do a decarb and then do the compression test again while the engine is still warm. If it's still in the same ball park, damn decent engine.
