Truck Fire
I posted this on the 1980-86 forum but am putting it here as well. I've been working on 85 F150, this is all very new to me. I put Catalytic converters on, my truck has two, and I had been noticing some exhaust coming from the bottom of first one. I recently replaced the manifolds and was working with those today. I started engine and within about 5 minutes, fire was coming from area around front cat conv. Not sure this was the source so am asking...could this be? I have all carb connections plugged until I reconnect hoses. Can anyone help me with this one? I'm a little bewildered. This takes my first project to a whole new level...a low one!!
Thank You

Hard to tell exactly, as I was a little freaked out and trying to get it extinguished, but seemed to be coming just from Cat. Hood was closed and when I opened it saw no signs of flames at all so I'm pretty sure it was only from the area around front cat.
Ideas?
