Here's my basic notes on the compression and which cylinders got oiled for the test, and which ones did not. I just ran out of sunlight today, but all of the cylinders had at least 80 psi. I'm going to squirt some oil in the dry cylinders with low values tomorrow and see if I can get the rings working better. Let me know what you guys think.

I also realized today that the build date is in the car door. It shows 1/84 and I have the name of the original owner who bought the car along with the Dallas shop that federalized it. Oddly the original owner was a native of my hometown. It's hard to believe that someone from where I live had good taste in supercars, and a ****load of money in 1984. I'm now seeking out the original owner for information, but it's a very common name, so I'm not sure I'll find him. 1984 was a long time ago.
I also realized today that the car only has 89,000 miles on it.
