Jetting
Idle jet 65 Idle jet holder 120 Main jet 165 Emulsion F11 Air corrector 110 choke 42 Been playing around a bit changed from original Shelby comp spec as it seemed rich. Added air to compensate. Kinda stuck till I can run under load. |
Special Thanks
Acton Custom Nick came by to help, we deduced a plan and it looks like this might be the week for brakes then ride down the road..... Nick and Bonnie 1 Million ;)"THANKS":cool: |
Jeff great to see you and the fruits of your labor. That is one awesome little car! We'll soon have it trundling down the road. I'm delighted with the ready to run hit the key state it's in already.

One thing I can tell you. Mine ran obviously rich at idle until I got that circuit jetted down. Even when the idle screw told me it was at its best setting. I mean, the exhaust was enough to make you have to walk away. I'm running stock chokes 35mm??? Can't remember at the moment. My mains are at 140. My pistons aren't high compression but I have the old small chamber heads. Every build is different, I'm sure you'll find your sweet spots.

Great information, Webers are very engine specific I think.
Looking to get on the road this week. |

Ok here is my dilemma
Baer Calipers Earls banjo fitting 3/8 or 10mm Copper and alloy crush washers, no mixing just M10x1.0 banjo bolts 3/4 leak under pressure, granted slightly but leaks..... eat paint :eek: Only legit suggestion I have is add thread sealer "ARP" to the bolts and retighten using new crush washers. Has anyone else encountered this ? :confused: |
Maybe disassemble all the joints and make sure everything is super clean and reassemble using new washers...are you using all Earls stuff, including the washers/bolts? Just asking for consistancy's sake. Could be something simple like there's a speck of grit in between one of the sealing surfaces...??

I am using Earls banjo fitting Both Earls and another banjo bolts (Earls up front) Only one sealed is non-Earls Both Earls alloy washer and another brand copper Have taken apart 2x and still issue. Huge torque on the caliper, afraid to strip it..... Ahhhh............:CRY: |
Anyone else have issues with PBR (Baer) calipers?

Here is what I am looking at
Caliper Front using alloy washers Rear using copper washers |
A banjo washer isn't just a copper washer as you're finding out. The best ones have rings around them and are also softer so they seal two ways. I've already sent you the even better solution.

The time has finally arrived.....................
THE CAR IS MOVING AND STOPPING ON ITS OWN.................. :3DSMILE: Many thanks to all the great friends that assisted, helped and advised. John Bessey, Comp Classics Karl Davis, Weber advise Dennis Olthoff, SPF North Carolina Brian Johnson and Pat Connelly, mechanics Joe Stanley, Ford guy PBR Tech SPECIAL THANKS: Nick Acton, Acton Custom ;) The original plan this weekend was to drive the gold Cobra down the road and to my wedding reception, bride in navigation seat. Time ran out and leaks made it look grim. I finally came to the realization there was no Cobra at the reception. Then came Acton Custom to the rescue. Not only did Nick get his hands on some special fittings to overcome and casting defects in the calipers, he came late Friday night, while I started nuptials, and did the installation. Bonnie by his side, they sealed, cleaned, bled the brakes and put the car back on the floor for use. I arrived back home at 12am to find a great friend had added a great moment to one of the most important days in my life. Huge hit! ;) The car is awesome and with some alignment adjustment and inner panels this little Cobra is ready for the road. THANKS NICK! :MECOOL: |
Congratulations, Jeff
