If you use the remote-starting test lead near the strut-tower (The pink-lead near the Left-side strut-tower on my 85 740), you wont need to use the ignition-key to turn the engine, meaning you wont need to disable the fuel-pumps as they are not powered during the test. This also allows you to check compression via a hand-held gauge without a helper.

Unplug the ignition-to-distributor ignition wire. Removing all spark-plugs prior to checking compression helps reduce the load on your starter during testing, leading to higher engine rpms.

You might find more info from my recent compression testing thread.
