G'day Tim,
to PackardInfo. Unfortunately I'm not a mechanic either so I'll let the more knowledgeable and experienced comment and advise in depth, but I'll give some thoughts. Those inconsistent compression readings don't look positive I'm thinking maybe because 5 & 6 have good compression that's why they show fuel while the others are pumping the vapour into the sump(pan). Maybe some oil into the cylinders to help seal the cylinders leaking? Of course that wont help if the problem is stuck valves.
On another note, I invite you to include your '48 Super Eight in the Packard Owners Registry.
