Use this guide to find compression ratios:
140# = 8:1
160# = 9:1
180# = 10:1
200# = 11:1
220# = 12:1
240# = 13:1
260# = 14:1
280# = 15:1

It sounds like your engine is severly carboned-up.
When I worked for Toyota we would see high pressures on Tercel engines, & upon dissasembly they'd be full of carbon.(On piston crowns etc) I work at a Honda dealership now & we often
see high mileage cars that burn oil,& smoke out the tailpipe. When compression is tested they check out ok. When taken appart the top two rings are fine(These controll compression),
but the bottom/ oil rings are all carboned up & stuck in the ring-land. The lesson I've learned from this is that good compression readings don't always tell the full story about ring
wear & or condition.
Good luck.
