I have wondered about the fuel log and overall fuel delivery capability. My fuel log from Keith Craft looks very similar to David's going by the finish which looks like a dull Cad plating. I recently replaced mine with another one from Cobra Restorers that has a shiny Cad plating but the 45 deg fitting was not as well drilled out and looked more restrictive. I may go back to the dull, finished one. Also the 5/16 inch fuel hoses to each carb seem a bit marginal - nice if they were 3/8 inch. And the filter - well, what can you say if your are trying to keep to period details for the most part? I can rationalize by acknowledging that I'm not trying to feed 700 HP anyway.
