Hello all, it has been a while since I have been around here. Seriously doubt anyone remembers me, got my 76' Cobra ii when I turned 16, drove it around for 3 or 4 years until i moved for college. So now at 28 years old, and the car has been sitting for 8 years from school with a wife and two kids I am working on getting the 76 back up and running.
I live in CA so I had to pull off the edelbrock intake and 4bl carb to put the stock ones back on for smog but after having the old carb sitting around for quite some time it needed to be rebuilt. Rebuilt it and I can get the car to start but without keeping my foot in the peddle it wont stay running. I have the manifold vacuum port all closed off except the one vacuum line giong to the carb, and from the carb to the distributor. I have had the air/fuel se to 1 1/2 turns out, and adjusted the distributor so that it sounds smooth while it is running with my foot in it. Any help would be appreciated, I look forward to getting involved in the II community again!
