Who’s making these cars

I thought some one in New Zealand was hand making alloy a/c cobra bodies?

I just pull the trigger too I have not had a problem even when I reuse ptfe fittings without buying new collets.

small update got my new engine and transmission coolers mounted up fans wired and lines plumbed I also have dummy fitted the A/C condenser now that I have all the distances set I will remake some better mounts.

I don't use a pvc valve my carbs also don't have any vacuum ports only ports for the balance tube for the vacuum secondary's I use a port at the manifold a vacuum line that goes to vacuum tank comp cams type then to my remote brake booster and one that goes to a second factory vacuum tank for my A/C controls. I have no choke on my carbs

I Don't find mine that big of a problem it can be annoying with a warm start when your in a tight car park and it dose not want to idle if I keep mine at 1k rpms for a few seconds it comes good
I am not sure what jets I have idle mixture screws got adjusted on first start 4 years ago and I have never touched them since then my carbs got custom made to my engine specs and have been great looking at my plugs they are on the rich side but not by much

I had some Ignition problems It was due to alternator wile I was trying to find out the problem I talked to my ignition manufacture I had never had any problems in the 4 years ive had my engine running but I never could find a non-resistor plug long story short I changed to ngk bcp6es plug with my bbm heads and it seems to like the non-resistor plug.

JB, I mocked up a 255x60x15 rear tire on the 15x8, 4.75 BS wheel. I had 1" clearance to the spring and 7/16" to the fender lip. the 275 tire is 1.1" wider section width so, that is a no go with these wheels, that I am committed to using. Chuck

Is that 1.1 inch wider with the tire fitted to the rim A few people run 275s here on 15x8s not sure if they rub. I took a tone of time fitting mine I was also lucky to have many offset rims borrowed from friends to try. for me it was the rear spring and on the outside there is the hump on the inner wheel tub it comes out to the quarter lip almost and it will rub up in there before it touches the lip.

Just have to find what your happy with. Magnums really suite a 66 67 fairlane or mercury

To fit 275s everything needs to be spot on. A 275 fitted to an 15x8 is around 10.8 inches wide

15inch with 4.5 inch back space will hit the side of the upper control arm before full steering lock that is the place to look at. I run a 15x8 4.5back space with a 10mm spacer and a 225 50 15 tire but my car is lowered around 4 inches in the front. I think the tire will be fine but the 4.25 inch backspace may still hit the upper control arm it will get closer the higher your car is too.
I thought when I had magnum 500 wheels on my car I had 15x8 with a 4inch back space but I cant seem to find that size now and 15x10 with a 5inch back space on the rear
