The 289 Register

My coil is mounted on the inner wing close to the front corner of the engine and the alternator. My exhaust manifolds are lagged but the coil was so hot I couldn’t touch it after a relatively short but fast run. Original cars had the coil mounted on the engine. Suggest you check the connections are ...

Aaron, you know what they say about viewing the glass half full. The glass was designed by an engineer and is twice as big as it needs to be!

Hi Aaron, I think coloured wheels is a very personal thing. I have previously toyed with the idea of gold centres for my alloys but decided the plain no frills look is better. Personally my view is chrome or silver wires look better than black. A relative in Melbourne has a pale green ( apparently T...

Hi Aaron, you must be pleased. The plus point of an older engine is that it is well run in and loosened up. I recon that until to have 20-25K miles completed then it it’ s not settled in and loose enough to really rev. I’m currently looking for a suitable rolling road who are prepared to adjust the ...

Not a cheap way to get a Cobra on the road.

Hi Lee, I can remember discussions on what was correct or not for your standard road version of a 427.
I do hope you can get your price bearing in mind the chaotic situation at present.
Can we ask what the new project is?

Thanks for the info Roger.
I think I will over the coming months investigate the thread types in readiness. Certainly can’t assume that they are BSP but most likely a mixture.

I guess we are all going to need to change the fuel lines sometime in the next year or certainly before the E10 is forced on us. Roger, how did you get over the non original bling look of the red & blue anodised fittings. Just use the black ones? We will need to check all the connecting threads e.g....
