Before you condem or blame low compression on no 6 cylinder to bad rings keep in mind that a long term miss on can wash down rings with raw fuel and cause low compression.

Make sure the secandary ign system is firing no 6 cylinder and no 6 cylinder plug and wires and cap and rotor and dist and injector is good shape.
Then run engine and see if compression comes back up on that cylinder.
Also camshaft retard and maf sensor or 02 sensor and or low fuel pressure can give you a miss.
