Guy's it's time for a safety tip " BUY A FIRE EXTINGUISHER FOR YOUR HOT RODS " my new truck almost burnt to the ground if it had been for a lady from the goodwill store on woodruff rd today . it cut off coming down woodruff rd so i pull off at a bank parking lot .. let it sit for a few ..tried to start it and it backfired through the carb and caught fire ...i tried smothering the flames with my t-shirt .. sent my little hero daughter ( thank heavens she was with me or it would have been toast ) over to goodwill for help .. she comes runing back with a lady ... and i saved the new toy .. heres a few pics of the aftermath

damn Tim, that is not cool by any means. And as to your question when i talked to you last yes i have seen that truck at shows and it is very nice. And with a touch from you it will be sweet. Sorry that happened with the back fire though.

Glad you are OK Tim and I figured it would only be a short time before you had the truck looking spotless again.

Holy shit Tim, that was a close call. Don't buy an Edelbrock carb what ever you do, replace it with another holley.
