IN CLOSING...
I debated for some time the decision between going to Webers or the 8 stack injection. The price of the new Webers and manifold would have been about the same, maybe a few hundred less than what I paid for the EFI system and I’m sure installation would have been less than 8 hours for the Webers. I probably spent 50 or 60 hours putting in the EFI system with all the issues I had to overcome. And as much as I want the car to have a high level of authenticity, I think it was a good choice and a fun learning experience without a huge compromise in its authentic appearance. The car will never appear as an original to those that really know, but for those that don’t, I feel it gives a good impression. Like every owner of a Cobra, I’m frequently asked if my Cobra is real. My reply is always the same…”It’s real enough.”
