Beautiful car Gary. I started out with two breather caps on my pentroof valve covers like I see in your photo and had a little oil spitting out. Replaced one of the breathers with a PCV valve and no more spitting. Easy solution if you experience the same thing.
Enjoy the build!
Kevin

Great build, you cannot go wrong with ERA. And the Guardsman blue paint is always nice on the 427 Cobra...good luck, you should have a lifetime of pleasure with this car.

I'm getting close, the car is now running and i made a few laps around the neighborhood. I just need to finish up the trans tunnel and a few small things and I will be ready to start the registration process.

Well - that was entirely too uneventful. Turn the key and it runs. Someday you are going to feel short-changed of the classic first start up turmoil of the distributor 180 degrees out or timed on the wrong cylinder (timed it like a Chevy) or plub wires crossed or . . . 
Sounds nice - congratulations. |
