Jeff:
I would not be too concerned with the results of the test. If the engine is
not using oil, it would seem that the valve guides and rings are in good
condition. That would indicate some wear of the valves and seats, not
uncommon for the mileage. I'd be inclined  to leave it alone and attend to
the carbs, timing and vacuum hoses. I think you'll find some improvement
there.
