Home made fuel log

Boy that looks familiar. I did the same thing for my build (289 with dual quads). I ended up building three of them before I was happy with it. But, and you may not want to here this, I had a vapor lock problem with the car and ended up removing the fuel log and building a different setup that did'nt bolt to the manifold.

Dan,
I'm just going to leave it polished. My engine has a few pops of polished bling, namely the Paxtons and carb hats, so it'll match ok.

roadrod,
Did your steel one work fine and your aluminum vapor lock? I was considering using extended fittings from the carb inlets and just sort of building a fuel 'log' out of T-fittings, elbows and braided line. Also, my fuel is fed from an electric pump that's basically plumbed to the firewall. I think that would reduce some vapor lock issue. No VL to date but have had heat soak at the gas station.

The engine in my cobra came out of my 65 mustang from 20+ years ago (long story) I never had the steel one that would have been original but just a Holly style splitter for the two carbs, when the engine went into the cobra I wanted the fuel log so I made my own just like you did. I never had vapor lock with the mustang, had it with the cobra with the fuel log, don't have it now. I highly recomend isolating the fuel log somehow if you use it.
