It may be disconnected now.. Mechanically blocked.. Be happy.. But be sure the mechanical advance is doing its job, and had a respectable curve dialed in for your Cobra... Most find a steep curve works pretty well without detonation. I get 38 degrees by 2300 rpm with my 428. I think your 351 can use more.. maybe 40?? but verify that with a small block guy before you do it... start at 10-12 degrees initial and you should have no problem. Good luck.
