im looking at 2 engines and have the compression results, im hoping to get some opinions on these results and if they are worth getting one is a 1973 1.7 the other is a 1973 2.0
1.7..... #1 130,#2 145,#3 130,#4 145
2 Liter #1 115,#2 115,#3 110,#4 105
Done with engine cold.Spark plugs out and throttle open
any info would be much appreciated

compression test is not valid unless the engine is warm.
leakdown test will give you some clues on a cold motor.
That being said...get the 2.0 liter.

Not to throw a wrench in the fan, but here is a link with some good pointers on the leak down testing http://www.nichols.nu/tip420.htm Again I am not at all being argumentative on the subject, just offering points to ponder.

..No expert, but that looked good enough
Just drive it!
