Jeff,

Definately NOT an authoritative answer but:

1) Do complete tuneup.
     a: Points, Plugs, condensor
     b: Adjust timing
     c: Adjust valve clearances
     d: Tune carb's - Uniflow (or by ear if your good)
     e:  Ck oil level in dampers
     f:  Adjust Idle
     g: Ck mixture (w/ Colortune) adj if carb's are adjustable models.

After this - let us know how idle, acceleration etc does - THEN another
compression test.  Unless valves are out of adjustment or burned, I wouldn't
think that the low compression in number 2&3 would be helped by a
reconditioned head, sounds more like piston rings to me. (?)
