I hope I can learn a lot from everyone on this site. I do have one question. There is an amber light that goes off and on at times. The guy I bought it from said something about fuel mixture ratio. I called the guy who originally built the car in 2004 and he could not remember. I looked through the manual and it talked about gauge placement but as for lights not specific or I missed something. But any way I am privileged to be on the forum and hope to learn much about these cars.

Welcome to the forum and the Cobra community, sounds like you are enjoying the new (to you) ride.
I'm building a FF 33 coupe in Shawnee so I'll watch for you around Jo Co. Hope to see your car at the
wheels and dreams show in Shawnee next month.
