This time I did it per Bentleys 15.20 (thanks Mark Drillock): plugs out,
coil disconnected, engine warmed up a tad (manual 86F, I ran the engine
for 1 minute, it's about 76F outside right now, that should have done
it), throttle fully open.

Cyl 1, 3, and 4 = 155 psi, took maybe 6 - 7 cranks to reach full pressure.

Cyl 2 = 120 psi (double-checked that one).

Manual says 116 psi is minimum.

Cyl 1 and 2 are on the side that the plugs indicate good mixture, 3 & 4
show rich mixture.
