New ERA owner needs some help
Hi all,
I recently picked up ERA FIA#2101. Have installed the wiring and getting ready to install engine & tranny. I sure would like to see some other FIA small blocks to get some thoughts on the best way to set things up. Anyone live in Connecticut? I am in Haddam. I have been wearing out the phone lines to ERA and they are helpful but sometimes seeing answers alot of questions. Thanks. Jack

This thread on the 289 FIa expansion tank has some nice engine shots.
http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69004
I'm seven cars behind you at #2108. Just started putting together my front suspension. Those A-arms are a struggle to get in. Did you do this work on yours? Any suggestions on the lower A-arm installation?

Doug,
I had ERA put in the front & rear suspension. It looked like more than I wanted to handle.

Just like me, you are quite close to New Britain. Stop by the shop...they always have some FIA's and 427's under construction. Doug is always willing to give advice and as a customer, I have found that when Peter P. said I was family and was welcome anytime, he meant it. Whenever I need a question answered, I just show up at ERA. It's called 'Family Service', er, I mean 'Customer Service'.  |

More Webers in an FIA
There are pictures of the Weber installation on 2039 in my picture file. I used the "Mustang" type manifold so I could accomodate a tach drive distrbutor.

Jack -
I live in East Berlin, CT and am currently assembling ERA #2099, an FIA car with a small block. Please feel free to email me at marculan@comcast.net if there is anything that I can help with, or if you would like to take a look at the car. I have the engine and transmission in, and will start on the interior next week.

I have absolutely no input on your problem. However, I did check out your gallery, and wanted to say that your car kicks proverbial a$$. Nice!

My FIA will be back at the ERA shop on Monday in preparation for the trek to Carlisle next Thursday. You're certainly welcome to check it over.
