My cobra is hard to start when hot. Starts good cold but sounds like it's flooded when it gets hot. Runs good after it starts. It don't do it all the time. I do have GT pumps without check values. I was told this was the problem but why only when it's hot. And why not all the time. Any ideas.

Hey guys I need to return my benne bell for a rebuild and I have never pulled it before. Been reading a lot of good threads about it and most are saying to pull the blower and intercooler with intake together. My question is how heavy will it be. Do I need to use a cherry picker or can to guys...

We went to the GoodGuys show this past weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway and Tremec had a booth setup with all the new 5 and 6 speed units on display. My cobra has the T56 and my buddy has the same in his GTO. He also has the 5 speed in his 67 Camaro so we were asking about shifting problem...

Looking all over the net trying to find low peddle pressure option for spec 3 clutch. Mine is very hard and I see folks talking about this but no one can tell me anything about it. One guy said he didn't know what it was but his mechanic installed it and it made all the difference in the world...

I replaced my convertable top cylinders due to one was leaking and closing crooked. I followed the instructions on the net. Bleed the cylinders on the floorboard to get the air out before connecting to the top. The top now closes straight like it should but if you let the car sit over night and...

I have a KB 2.4 that uses a lot of oil. I have read that if you are making more than 17lbs of boost KB will use some oil. I drive mine on weekends only and maybe 1500 miles a year. I have to add oil every three weeks. I don't run it that hard. I contacted KB and they said I need new seals in the...

Just installed new cylinders on the convertable top. They both were leaking. Had a lot of trouble getting the air out of the system. Two problems now. It wants to slam down onto the window seal when closing. Also it takes a long time to start to come up from the bottom when first pushing button...

My single blade Accufab throttle body has been a problem for me for about a year. It was on the car when I purchased it. Sticking throttle and high idle after WOT was the norm. Tried cleaning it and setting the TPS so many time with little luck. This is the way I fixed it. Remove the TB and hold...

Been having trouble starting my cobra when hot. Thought I had a leaking injector because it would stumble when it started. My mechanic ran a test today and found I was losing fuel pressure from 60 to 6 lbs in six seconds after turning the engine off. No engine miss fire in any cycliner histor in...

Broke a clutch cable this weekend and ordered a new one. Will it do any good to put something inside the cable to help it slide better. Maybe graphite ? It has a spec III clutch and very hard to push.

Still having this high idle problem after WOT. Done the procedure that Malcom posted several times. I know this is a problem with the single blade TB. I have been in contact with accufab and they suggested sending it back to them for calibration. It works great as long as you drive slow but once...

Been chasing a gas smell from the back of my cobra. Haven't taken the tank out yet but the seal for the filler tube looks good. All the vent hoses look ok far as I can tell. It seem to get worst after driving for about 20 mins. I'm down to 1/8 tank and it still smells. Any thoughts before I...

T56 input shaft sleave keeps breaking. Anyone having this problem

Made this decal for my blower pulley.

Hey guys I'm trying to inprove the under hood look of my cobra. All the alumium brackets and heads have tarnished. Any suggestion on how to clean it to make it look good again. My plan is to remove the blower belt and rollers with the brace that holds the idle rollers to replace the belts and...
