just so you peeps don't feel alone...
I put my newly rebuilt motor in my car a couple weeks ago... looked kick *** (fresh paint, new manifold, carb, valve covers, wires and dist (almost didn't start it, it looked so good)...
started her up took it for a drive (ran mint)..
got back to the house to make some minor adjustments, and gas everywhere on the intake...
tightened the fuel line, made adjustments, started her up,,,,, whoof, flames 6 feet high (luckily, i did'nt put the hood on)...
the coin toss caused me to put the fire out, another 3 hours of wire and line repair, runnin again, but looks like hell...
did'nt want to say anything... ;-)
