Cool

Burnt Up!!!

Bought a 1980 mustang 2.3 liter 4cyl. about two weeks ago. Runs great gets 25 miles to the gallon. Had a little bit of a rough idle. So I had some free time this evening to work on it so I tore the carb down and cleaned it. When I put it back on and started it. Something wasnt right. Started shooting gas out the top caught on fire dang near burnt my shop down. Toasted the car. But on the bright side atleast it was my truck.
