Wayne, great write up and pictures. This is a task that anyone with a little ability, a timing light and some patients can tackle. I also agree with you that most of our Cobras would benefit from a vacuum advance. I scratch my head at the almost universal lack of vacuum on a car that spends 98% of its time at partial throttle. My 428 is set at 34 degrees of total advance, idles nicely at 750 rpm. and will provide neck snapping acceleration. Vacuum quiets the exhaust note at highway cruising and greatly improves drivability. Thanks again. Rick
