Default spf with 514 crate motor

The wife and I flew out to Boise, ID on 4/13/02 and purchased a spf with 514 crate motor and a TKO. We drove the spf back to our home in North Carolina -- 3517 miles. We took the long way home via Phoenix, AZ on I-10. We averaged 11.6 mpg. We developed an intermittent miss only 50 miles from Boise. We stopped in Provo, UT and called the only cobra people that we knew in Provo -- the Kirkhams. Even though it was not their car, they had us bring the car to their shop. Thomas found the problem in about 5 minutes -- a cracked distributor cap. They had a cap delivered to their shop and had us running shortly. For you folks with the means to buy the best cobra from the best people, you should buy from the Kirkhams. The car ran great for the rest of the trip, even though we ran through high winds, with gusts over 75 mph, rain, sleet, snow, and baked through Arizona, New Mexico, and South Texas. We had a smile the whole way.
