Too much power too quickly with 8 barrels !

Wow. You guys are very innovative.

I'd have gone for a cheap & simple fix.
Put a block behind the accelerator when she drives to limit the pedal movement.
Remove the block when you want to play.

Simple, and no screwing around with the carb, linkages, jets tuning or other...

Enjoy.

Disconnect the rear carb and run it on front carb only. I think this is what
Tony Hogg of Road and Track did when his wife was driving the Cobra.

If I had a wife she would never drive my cobra. Even if it was Danica. It's kind of like saying your bazooka has to much kick for your wife to shoot. Get her a 22 cal or a Miata.

Bazooka's don't recoil...

I once blew a bubble with Bazooka gum that, when it popped, astounded me with the recoil.

This the best way for the engine, and your wife's safety.

Cheap and simple fix, end of discussion really.
