Dave....

If you had 110 to 120 lbs. per cylinder a year ago and have been using
the car, I'll wager you've got a lot less in at least one cylinder now!
Even the late B's should read 135 lbs; 110 suggests burnt valves. If you
have a burnt valve it will cause noticeable pulsations in your vacuum
readings. Sounds like time for a valve job....!
