I once had blown out two mufflers at start up time due to a bad ford bad round pin type Ignition switch.
And the use of the big yellow 45-50,000 volt Acell supper coil.
Some people came out of their homes and looked around as a big cloud of exh. smoke engulfed my whole truck.

Has anyone had a muffler explode? I was driving on the freeway back to Atlanta from Chattanooga when I lost power and had some backfires through the carb. About 10 seconds later BLAM!!!!! 
I pulled over and looked underneath the bed and the muffler looks like a taco. I post photos tomorrow. Needless to say it scared the S#¥% out of my wife. I've never had that happen before...
Anyone with a simular story?

68 ,Ranger, Usually this is caused by a loss of the ignition system, points not opening enough or low voltage to the coil, when the ignition stopped the engine kept feeding fuel through the exaust , when the ignition came on it lit up the mixture. My dad had a wrecker for our mechanic shop that I could make it backfire by turning the key off and on, it would scare the CHEVY out of people! We used to take it out at night just for fun.
