" Valve overlap is the period during engine operation when both intake and exhaust valves are open at the same time " ==== should be fairly easy to see why it would affect compression at cranking speed.You should also do a wet test that will tell a lot also .

Whats that box beside the added oil cooler in grill area lh front ?

Funny in that the prior owner can post a dozen times a day on nothing but cannot come on this topic and just answer some questions like yours.

He did answer with this              https://www.saacforum.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=b54nv46k60thkhd2ev03gm3ou1&topic=25751.msg190723#msg190723

MODIFIED Jan 23-yesterday. HMM, couldn't do this for the last 14 months? Thanks for bringing that to light but he still hasn't said what led to the fire which another poster asked. Only modified and added to his original post after it became another topic right here. I guess the question is why is that?  So to be clear Mr Tech he didn't answer the questions asked here and the one by Ed I quoted.

I get , but you're only wasting your time with this individual .

Looks like a very nice car + has AC , red Jag on the lift is interesting also , I own a KR that's been sitting for over 30 years and it needs work I'm just too lazy to play with it. Thanx Steve.

Sure! I'm flattered anyone would want to see her. Where would I post these pictures? Or, are there some instructions on doing so.? I've few other chores to do, but I will try to get to it soon. Thanks, Steve. (I had no idea I would have so much to do in retirement!) s

go to reply , attachments and other options , attach ( choose file ) "that would be your pictures" , post . Try it

Steve how about posting a few pix of your car ? I'd like to see it .

I was the original poster. I deleted it earlier today because I felt it had been commented on enough and I didn't want to perpetuate negative comments. Now it looks as though deleting the post is causing more issues. I just come here to see posts about old original Shelbys, they've been my obsession for about fifty years. I really don't take these forums all that seriously, although I know a lot of people do. I just want to see pictures and hear stories about classic Shelbys......

In that case I'm confused as to why create a post about it ?   

Thread with a question about 20,000 posts Gone, honestly I'm surprised that it lasted that long .

Boots should not tear unless they're old and dry rotted ? But here is good explanation what the problem really is . 

There's another very likely reason. If you use the reproduction boots on the aftermarket ball joints like Moog, the metal rings are too tight and will not allow it to spin freely so the boot will turn. Every time the wheel is turned the boot twists

That makes more sense , also ASE certified guys using "pickle forks" to separate joint from spindle

Interesting that the used Buick was more than the Corvette!

Easy answer ,,,, A 'Deuce and a Quarter' was always much more popular in Philly than a Corvette .
