It sounds like you could have a whole lot of problems; or just one big fat electrical gremlin living in your engine bay!
Those compression #'s do not sound to good though!
A leek-down test would tell quite a bit; but it sounds like you are already into the engine!
Is the engine still in the car? if it is you might want to consider putting the carbs and exhaust on and getting a leak-down test done! would be a shame to spend a lot of time on the carbs, and head studs to find out they are fine!
How are the plug wires, distributor(is it original?, rotor, timing etc... ?
Regarding the intermittent noise; check the side rocker panels on the car, the right one on my 914-6 was rattling against the body and made an intermittent noise that I thought was the engine for a while!
If the engine is as tired as those compression #'s sugest; you may want to drop it and go through the whole thing; painfull and expensive but worth the effort in the long run!
