If you used platinum plugs or e3 do em again but with copper lol. Otherwise download the factory service manual, it has the procedure in there. Easier than trying to explain it.

What condition is your plenum gasket in? Multiple misfire codes are a tell tail sign.

What wires did you get? If you just got the 'stock replacement' fellers, check the FAQ section here for the Plug Wire Routing TSB, and run them accordingly. Might be just that simple.

A high of 150, and low of 120.... puts you out of spec. Granted, the individual numbers are good, but, the difference between highest, and lowest, is greater than 10%, which isn't good. I would be tempted to do a cylinder leakdown test, and see what that tells ya.

A worn out distributor (Bushings) can cause this also.

As for the compression, run 2 cans of Mopar Combustion Cleaner through and retest it.
