It's Alive

Well after an agonising past couple of weeks, I have finally got to hear my cobra running.

I organised a day off work afew weeks ago so the Hose guy could come and make some braided hoses with AN fittings for my car, well he never fronted on the day.
He did come around later that night and returned the next Saturday, made what he could but then had to order more connections.
Anyway, last Friday night he finished making them, I fitted all up on Saturday, only to find a leak in the fuel rail where he had welded the AN joiner.
I attempted to start the car on Sunday only to find I had no spark nor injection pulse.
Monday night after work was my first free chance to get stuck into the car and figure out the no spark issue.
So the fuel rail was returned for repairs (he couldnt fix it so another welder did it on Tuesday for me).
I traced through the wiring and found that the electrician had wired the power supply to coils and injectors direct to the fuse box (no relay) and had used an ignition source (but no power at crank).
So I rewired it fitting a relay in the system and tested, now I have spark.

Last night I get home, refit the fuel rail and try to start, well she fired up first go, after a fuel leak issue at the surge tank was fixed she now runs with no problems.

Here is some footage.

Brings back memories of the first time we fired up our Cobras.

Those are the moments you never forget.

Well done mate.

I bet you can't wait for that first (unofficial) test drive.

Here is another video link, atleast it sounds more like a V8 in this one.

This Utube thing is fun.
