MGA Terms :-) and my thanks

[CyberKermi@aol.com]

What a wonderul group of people!

Thanks so much for all the informative letters regarding the MGA.  I'm still
waiting for lady's *husband* to give me a call back.  In the mean while,
 I'll memorize your suggestions on inspecting the MGA....Only problem, I
don't understand a few of the inspection terms.  If anyone has a chance,
please e-mail me with a explanation of the following :-)

ROCKER PANEL (and how do I feel behind them?) ---

SiLLs---

And, one more thing: could I do a compression test using the hand crank? if
so, what should the reading be on a 1959 MGA?
And are there any other mechanical checks I can do on a car that is not
running? 

Thanks again for your considerations...
