I pulled a bone head move several weeks ago . I go ton my Cobra to impress my grand son. It launched great and thank god it fell on it's face and I tried to limp it home keeping it barely running around the block. I didn't make it died. I had to have it towed home. The garage is a mess. Lots of projects covering the workbench. My priorities are to get several things done first. I suspected fuel levels in the carbs, Fouling plugs due to hitting the rev limiter on cold plugs. Now I'd bet I had challenged the Distributer drive gear pin again due to cold
oil and high revs. It would explain everything.
What I need is the length of the pin in a FE distributer drive gear.. Previously I had a spring pin which sheared years ago. I replaced it with a true roll pin from MSD. That was 15 years ago. My local Shucks has MSD stuff on it's display. What length or part number am I looking for?
I had talked to a Mopar guy at a party who said Melling
oil pumps have given him grief by having the relief stick open. That is the brand of
oil pump I'm using. Any body had problems with Melling oil pumps?
