Hi everyone. It's been quite a while since I last posted on GT40s.
I have just purchased a Cobra replica, with a 427ci stroked 351W in it.
The car drives like a train, but I think it's running extremely rich.
In trying to acquaint myself with the car/motor, I just noticed that both the idle adjustment screws are missing on the secondary side of the carb leaving the holes open to atmosphere, which strikes me as odd.
Also, the vacuum advance on the distributor is blanked off. As this is a road car, would I be better served by having the vac adv connected?
I am attaching some pics to show the above.
I would really appreciate any input you fine chaps can offer. I am a fish out of water.
Thanks.
Mark
