Nice car, hard to find ones like that today.

I would eliminate the pistons/rings as the reason for the low compression. I would preform a "WET" compression check. Take out the plugs, pour a teaspoon of oil into each cylinder and then do another compression check. If it comes up, that indicates rings/cylinder. If it stays the same, then it would indicate head gasket, which you have eliminated or valves.

Low compression in a couple of cylinders would make it hard to start.
