Your car starts easily and sounds OK. If you have 6 degrees BTDC the engine will sound a lot more ferocious if you kick up the initial timing and add a little fuel. Suddenly you will start to get that thunder in the exhaust at idle that sounds so good.

You will also get more heat in the engine so be sure your cooling system is working right. If you don't have a high torque starter and the starter grunts when you start the car you might want to upgrade the starter.

Check for starter grunt after the car is up to running temperature and you shut it off. When it is hot and you try to restart it is when the starter will work hardest because it's hot too.

Good looking Cobra. You did a real nice job!

Enjoy.

Ed
