On my way to a local car show, blipped the throttle on a downshift off a freeway ramp and the engine died. Took of the distributor cap and found the rotor wasn't turning as I spun the engine. Flat towed the Cobra the last 6 blocks to the car show- I had the only Denali powered Cobra there! Pulled the distributor to find the dreaded roll pin failure. Trip to the local hardware store and 27 cents later it was running again. It still screwed up a perfectly good day, or at least a couple hours. Drained the oil when I got home into a very very clean drain pan and found part of the pin, stuck a magnet into the drain on my Aviad pan and pulled out another piece. Installed a magnetic drain plug and hope to catch the rest. Mike
