I believe it dropped down to 8.5:1. In 1971 auto makers were easing into the new EPA mandates to run on unleaded regular fuel.

ALL Oldsmobile engines in 1971, including the Actionline 6 and the 350 and 455 V-8s, regardless of application, had 8.5 to 1 compression ratios. No other compression ratios were offered.
