I wonder if the original 427 Cobras had/have a slow fill issue?? Probably so few originals ever see the street any more.... we may never know.
We made a change at around #730, moving the filler tube path to the side of the tank. It made a better trunk shape, but made the filler path more restrictive. Sometimes improvements aren't completely improvements.
