The plugs are really wet if you take one out. And when I say trying to hit, i do mean crank. And as far is it being a cobra motor I'm not to sure. I bought the motor from a guy in Texas. He said his car had been HIT in the rear. I do know that it has dome piston and it has a really big cam but I'm not sure which one. I'm sorry but i don't know what the clear flood mood is or how to do it. More information about that would be GREATLY appreicaiated!! And if you can ANSWER this it might help. Like I said before, my friend has a snap-on scanner and it will come on when he first plugs it up to the plug on the car. NOW he has to get his power from the battery on the car and he gets his ground through the plug on the car, and like i said it works fine until you turn the switch on the car to start it and than it turns itself OF(Snap-on Scanner)!!! This is not suppose to happen. It's suppose to stay on in order to diagnose the car. Can the be a short in the ignition or other wire in the ignition that may be strong enough to cause the computer to act up and cause the car to do what it's been doing. WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT IT MIGHT BE A COBRA MOTOR?????
THAT WOULD BE A GOOD THING
