Back in Black:
This is not a new build. I have been doing a refurbish job on a newly purchased older Cobra (1985). I had taken off the headers to have some work done on them and took the spark plug wires off to aid the removal. I needed to turn over the engine to push
oil and metal shavings out the opening for the
oil pressure sending unit (this is a whole different story). Well, I remembered to disconnect the coil wire, but forgot to reconnect the plug wires. Since all 8 wires were lying all over the top of the engine, sparks really flew. This incident was the beginning of my problems (car won’t start and continuous running fuel pump).
