Estate dead engine? Help! 120-130 1968

Help (please)! My partner had a problem with his 1968 Volvo Amazon Estate car at the weekend. It started to feel lumpy, like it was running out of fuel & it started to make a funny noise by the filler cap? Anyway, we pulled over & he managed to go a bit further up the road but then the engine cut out & we had to call out the recovery service. He & a neighbour have tested the points etc & have just changed the coil but it's spitting out through the carbs & he thinks it might have dropped a valve? Any ideas what to do next? I guess a compression test is needed but is it terminal as far as the engine is concerned? It has been using a lot of oil recently... : ( Thank you!
