King's Cobra First Start

This week we get the King's Cobra to first start. We give the entire car a once over and then proceed to prime the oiling system of the engine to sidestep any oil starvation issues when the engine fires. Anthony and I discuss the pitfalls of using a vacuum secondary carb on a 2K lbs vehicle and also why you should avoid a carb with an electric choke. Engine fires right away and we struggle through some typical first start issues. In the end, it was a really successful day.
