compression numbers for a 3rd gen?

Been looking for another car for a while now, and I found a rx-7 in my area that I think I'm going to jump on. Anyway, cars got 73k on it, and I'm pretty sure its the origonal motor(ad was a little brief), that said, I'd like to have the guy get a check, so I'm wondering what the correct #'s are for a stocker '93. Tried a search and didnt come up with what I was lookin for. First post btw...yeah.... So then, if someone can toss some figures my way on the fly, that would rock, gonna try to go see the car tomorrow.

Take it to any MAZDA mech/dealer and they will be able to tell you if the compression is good. Basically, you want "even" compression numbers from a check. Also, you want compression number of 6.5 or better. A stock, healthy FD will run 7+...
