It very well might. But, make sure that you don't move all your oil off your pick up in the pan in an effort to tilt your car to get the air bubble out (meaning, keep an eye on your oil pressure gauge). In Cobras, air bubbles will usually be in either the manifold or the non-hose side of the radiator. Cracking a fitting in the manifold will usually take care of that pocket, and a burp fitting like you see on my radiator below will take care of any radiator air. Try your "back over the bank" trick, but be careful.
