I have a theory to explain the incredible difficulty we encountered in removing the Cobra wheels. But, first, a bit of history. The car sat in my mom's garage for more than one year, about 2 years ago. This was the first time the car has been on the lift since then, and while working on the car (new starter, lube, etc) I noted, tho' not at the front of my small brain, much corrosion on certain fittings. I've included a picture of some of the ss fuel lines as they enter the mechanical fuel pump and also a shot of the breaker plate of the distributor. Look at that corrosion and, what appears to be, rust. Gotta wonder if that process, whatever in her garage started it, was at work on those wheel surfaces. Thank you all for your interest. S
