G'day Vashon41,
to PackardInfo, but before addressing your query a couple of other matters. One - it would be best if our Webmaster BigKev took your post and any replies to it out of this thread and created a separate thread. BigKev, Can you accommodate this please? Two - I invite you to include your '41 120 Convertible Coupe in the Packard Owner's Registry here on PackardInfo!
Because the car "has been sitting a while" a likely cause of the lack of compression is sticking valves. The valve stems and maybe the valve faces, if they have been open, could be rusted or gunked up. Initially, just remove the valve covers and check the valves are closing fully. If that checks OK then go from there. Others may be able to offer further advice as you get into specifics as they occur.
