Wink MSD Distributor

Thanks PatrickT I put your setup in my distributor,an its seems to be working fine it woke the Cobra up, I also found out my linkage was not allowing the carb to go to WOT. I also went thru the valves an adjusted them its a blast to drive again. I appreciate from everyone at Club Cobra, just wish there were more Cobras around Savannah Ga. CSX 4339 was at a car show here last week, nice car.

Well to be fair, you need to try the other suggestions and see which setup works best for you.

Ah but your manicure was perfect.

You did not find my insights so vapid when you fragged your rebuilder damper at starter-motor RPM...

I get it. Vapid and insipid are synonyms. Man, this site is great. New vocabulary and everything else too.

That was a POS dampner alright. I'm not even sure it was Ford based either. The marks were clearly off, and it had a Chevy bolt pattern on it.

It's a vibration damper. Chiltons is so blue collar. You should actually read Barry's book instead of taking pictures of it.

Galleys or Galleries is used interchangeably.

So you only get partial credit...

Flipper pulled out a copy of Chilton's?

Flipper was a name of a dolphin. A dolphin-type fish is called Mahi Mahi. OK. I'm hungry now.

Using Chilton's as your source.
