And yeah, you're quite right. One thing that I know will drive me nutz is a nice warm California Spring afternoon, and my Cobra sits, partially dismantled, in my garage and the only sunshine I get is when I stick my hand out from underneath the Cobra for a wrench...
Well, lots to think about.
By the way, the re-ring trick I mostly hear from ex-racers. It was brought up to me by a racer that used to drive GT-40's "back in the day".
By the way, here's a tech question: When resetting a distributor, how do you get the distributor to line up with the top of the
oil pump shaft. I tried for quite a while on my engine, and ended up jacking the Cobra up in some weird way to get the
oil pump shaft to center, then I could set the distributor.
There has GOT to be a better way!
