Compression test numbers

Just did a compression test on my newly acquired 79 bronco 351m. Think the numbers look good but look a little low (figure it’s cause low compression motor?)

1 - 140
2 - 140
3 - 135
4 - 130
5 - 130
6 - 140
7 - 140
8 - 140

just sanity checking these look good? I realize they are not out of 10% difference which is good
