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.

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

Most all of the FE engines in my past street driven cars ran best all around at 38-40, of course I haven't had one since 1970 and we could get GASOLENE back then.
I always went by (and still do) finding out what the engine likes as total, find out initial that it will start at, and limit the advance to those two numbers---which means limiting the dist advance number to the differance. I want the advance to come in as soon as possible and yet retard back to base at idle to prevent dieseling and run on at shut down. generally on MSD stuff I end up with one light silver and one light blue spring with the biggest OD donut in the distributor---( Yea Patrick)
However----I also do fuel curve to match----
