But…a cobra has always been the dream. I’m sure many of you can relate. It seems that a replica might be a realistic (affordable), way to go and am just starting to do little research. I remembered seeing an article years ago in one of my many car mags…I’ve purchased every Road & Track from the time I was 16…that compared the leading cobra kits and ERA was number one saying it was the most authentic. Interestingly, I just heard the same thing from a sales guy at F40 Motorsports. Anyway, like I said, trying to get educated so if anyone could weigh in on the following I would appreciate it.
Thanks!
Is FI much more reliable/desirable than a Holley carb? My Sunbeam Tiger had a Holley that gave me a lot of trouble.
I live in the Dallas area. Are there any members in the Dallas/Fort Worth who have found a good place for final assembly and maintenance?

I have two Holley carbs on my 427 Tunnelport equipped side oiler and have only had to adjust and tune them once. I know plenty of people who have never tuned their holleys after their initial tune and have 20,000+ miles on them without an issue. I guess to respond properly to your question I need to ask if you have ever had your holley tuned professionally?
ERA is a fantastic company still in business today.........To own one you would not go wrong.
