I just checked the compression in cylinder 2 after driving the car around and it was back up to 120 psi. Car runs fine but the jury is still out on whether I helped the smoke on start-up - I don't think so. I have no idea why the compression is better today. I'm not even sure what it's suppose to be for this car - I get different information from different manuals. And in response to CTH, the carbs are well-balanced and stay balanced so I don't have any problems there.
