I need to replace some weather stripping for sure. 25 year old weather stripping isn't the best

Its not that, its the fit and finish of the cars werent that great. As long as its blowing directly on you on high you can feel it but you can still feel the Texas summer heat blazing through the top still. At that point of the summer i ended up only driving it early mornings or at night otherwise it felt like I was being cooked alive.

I've been reading about fox tachs being off. Is that the reason you went with the aftermarket one on the dash or did you just want it? The reason I ask is I've been meaning to check to see if my tach is accurate or not.

That's what I've heard, that they read anywhere from 500 to 1000 rpms higher than your actually running. Might want to look into that before the car gets out of the shop

I didn't want to put a big ugly tach in my Cobra so I just put the 5800rpm fuse in the ignition box and it was fine. Never had a problem with it.

They are USUALLY 500 off reading higher than what's actually happening... I have my MSD provide the tach signal instead of the stock ignition, and its wired back to the stock tach. Its within 100 rpm now on the low side... 7200 limiter hit right about 7100-7150 on the tach. The vert is setup the same way. Much better looking than a huge 5 inch tach that doesnt fit on the tiny dash setup, and you get a better ignition to prevent misfires and increase mpg at the same time.

Holy crap!!! Hell just froze over. You actually posted!!! Post up an intro thread in the introduction forum. For those that don't know this is my brother and he has had this car since he was 15. We took it from a high mileage bone stock car to what you see in the pics.
