Tom,
Don't be too concerned about the specific number, as much as the difference
between the cylinders. You shouldn't see more than 15-20 psi difference
between ANY cylinder. Anything lower than 100 might be cause for alarm,
and remember to do this with the throttle wide open, high tension coil lead
grounded or what I do is use a spark plug from the coil high tension lead,
body of the plug grounded to the block (bypassing the dist. cap) to provide
the proper resistance (required on some electronic ignitions)
