Default Compression Test? Tune Advice

Hey everyone iv got a 88 LX with 287,xxx KMS on it.

i just got it recently. Should i do a compression test on the engine? I dont know much about it but iv been told compression tests are a good way to see how well its running internally?

if anyone has any info, tips or advice it would be great!

im looking to get the engine running the best i possibly can and looking for things i can do to improve it or find out if i should rebuild it?
