will post pics when i get on my laptop at home ......these last few days sucked......the damage wasnt too bad fuckin holley carb caused it .......and homedepot employees don't know where the fire extinguishers are in thier store here


edelbrock 4bbl shopping


damage isnt to bad looking but it burned for a couple minutes ....the airfilter melted and wont come off the fuel lines are burnt plug wires etc ...any who i think the choke was stuck open then it got gas on the filter then when i tried starting it the carb flamed and caught the filter and stuff on fire (my typical ford oil leak didnt help hahahaha)

ill post a vid of us slamming the holley 4bbl with a sledge hammer later

on the tow truck afterwards

Re: DD truck caught fire *updated with pics3/34*

it wasnt the holley carb. there was probably dirt in the needle and seat and it was flodding the engine and or went out the base plate. good luck with the edelbrock :rolleyes:
