I have a photo and results sheet for a race in 1968 involving you car.  PM me if you want them.

Sad to just learn of the passing of Cobra racer Gary Burke.  In his first year of SCCA racing in 1968, Gary successfully raced his weber-carbed/flared-fendered 289 Cobra, CSX 2239, to several race victories and the San Francisco Region's A-Sports Racing championship.  Gary and 2239 helped extend the Cobra racing legacy well after Shelby had moved on to Mustangs and GT40's.

Anybody have a recommendation from experience for the gasket that seals the 3259's fuel bowl screws?

Anybody have any experience with either of these two cams: Comp 31-334-4 236@.05 528 lift 110 lobe separation or Isky 381358 236@.05 .512 lift 108 lobe separation?

Because of the high steering effort on early GT350s', did the aluminum splined hubs used on their steering wheels ever have any known problems or failures?

Anyone have instruction sheets for the Accel 37000 Series Distributor they'd be willing to duplicate and share?  Thanks.

Any comments or recommendations on current security systems and GPS?

Sad to learn of the death of actor and author Tim Considine.  He wrote an epic history of Le Mans and was a Cobra enthusiast, as I recall.   

Did they use any used parts in building these vehicles?

$64.00 plus shipping.

I have some bumpers that should be re-chromed.  Anybody have experience with Graves Plating or Paul's Chrome?

Had to buy a battery for a daily driver.  As I had done in the past, I bought a Die Hard AGM thinking it would again be a rebranded Deka from PA.  Got it home and saw it had a little "made in china" sticker.  UGH! 

Any point sets recommended for 6500 - 7000 rpm in a 289 dual point?

What's the best performing/reliable condenser currently available as an alternative to the chinese junk?

Any recommendations of a good rebuilder of starters?

Very good or NOS.

Are there any Ford two groove 3/8 belt water pump and crank pulleys suitable for an early Hipo 289?  Appreciate any info available.  Thanks.

What would be the correct part numbers for the cast iron water pump and timing cover for an early (290) '66 GT350?  Thanks.

Looking for an early, non-emission "orphan" head.  Good, rebuildable core.  Deep thumb prints, no welding, epoxy or pinning.

Enjoyed the film but I had a hard time with the film's casting for Phil Remington.  The actor chosen looked too much like Dick Guldstrand, one of the Cobras' significant Corvette challengers on the west coast.  Every time a part for Phil was featured I thought of Dick.  Surprises me they casting didn't do a better job on that key character.
