Joseph, welcome!
1. Congratulations on your acquisition! 2. Take it slow on the first drives and get used to your new ride. These cars will swap ends very quickly. 3. I'd swap the fluid in those reservoirs...brake and clutch fluid should be mostly clear/light amber. 4. Don't let the purists on this board smack you around too much (i.e. the Chevy powerplant). FWIW, I started on Chevys and am learning Fords with my Cobra. At the end of the day, they are not too much different...just bolts and nuts. 5. Most of all, keep the shiny side up and have fun! Regards, -Dean |
like dean said, Dont swap ends! Better get the distributer fixed it's in the wrong place! Ha ha.Looks like you got a great deal. enjoy!

Is that your garage? Nice as heck if it is. Congrats on the car.

Nice car, congrats. And dont't worry bout the distributor thing, over here in europe more than 50% of all Cobras are chebby powered. You may tell people, that the dist was moved to the back of the engine due to weight balance reasons...:JEKYLHYDE
