Not Ranked
Dooooh! found why the motor was Locked up
Okay - a local cobra guru (Chris Dawkins) came up and helped me tear into my cobra. It turns out I was using a truck bell housing that bound the clucth as it was tightened down. Pull the tranny - it is all free. Pull the bell housing and the motor turns. With the inspection plate off the bottom of the bell housing I could see it bound up. Chris is going to hook me up with a real cobra bell housing.
The clutch master cylinder also turned out to be clogged and in need of a rebuild (even though it was brand new / never used). The key was that I was getting fluid to it but not gravity feeding out of it to the slave.
Hopefully when I get done moving and get to start thrashing on the cobra again it will not take long before it is running.
