What is normal compression reading for a high mileage 164? 140-160

I did a compression test on my '73 164 with over 250K and all cylinders were between 140 to 150 psi. Is that good compared to other 164s? I didn't find any specs in the Chiltons manual I have.

    That's good! 150 is better. 100 is probably where you need to seriously
    consider engine work unless you can afford plenty motor oil.
