Doc, there are two things that I can say about your comment.
That is your wife is a keeper, as is the cobra.
Enjoy both mate.
Car looks great.
Now... go change your nick as "Darkside" is reserved for those of us who recognize the value of using engines from the darkside.

there was no way we were going to put the clevo back into her as u can see there was no room to get at back 2 plugs either side,u couldn't even get plug leads off rear plugs,so we decided to put it back to the way it was originally built
we found an au2 efi windsor and went about taking off unwanted efi bits
so when we got all that off we sourced some goodies to put it on gas

Nice coupe. I really like the driving lights tucked inside the intake on the Cobra. Always liked that look, might do it to my cobra one day. Welcome to the madness. Cheers Gregg

That polished intake looks great doc. Are we talking liquid petroleum gas or laughing gas? 
1994 build year, hopefully back on the road for her 20th birthday.

I'll have a guess.
Na is the chemical symbol for Sodium.
Sodium is used for LPG storage (I think).
Therefore to cut to the chase. Gas Cob
.... most likely way off..... just taking a break from actually working.

Nevamind, we forgive ya for wasting $400.00.
I was asking my grandson what a NAC COAT (as in CO8) was, thinking it was some weird modern day fashion accessory.
There ya go ... I was wrong again
