Edelbrock 1406 whistling
Also.....on the carburetor cleaner thing. I recommended water in a bottle because a friend in high school auto shop class was using carburetor cleaner to hunt down a vacuum leak. He sprayed too much in and whether the engine ignited it or some got into the distributor was unclear, but it flashed back into the engine compartment and burned him severely. I remember it well because some of our shop class had to hold him down while he was trying to peel the freshly burned skin off his face. The resulting fire also burned the entire under hood area of the car before the shop teacher and I could run get fire extinguishers and put it out. So some people may ask "SO WHAT"? There is your "SO WHAT". My thing has always been why in the world risk being hurt when water will work just as good? It just makes no sense. THAT'S WHAT.
Again, as seen in my post above that I knew I would regret.

High school auto shop........Should have been closer supervision. I am sorry for the freak accident you witnessed. I meant you no ill will with thoughts I voiced.
I'm almost 50 and this has never happened to me or anyone I ever worked with on cars. I'll still do it my way being even MORE carefull in the future.
Thank You for pointing out. There is nothing more important than safety. The first step to a safe job is a safe man. Burns are a horrific injury. Again I am sorry for offending you, my comment was made so as the rest of us dumb hillbillies who do it the wrong way wouldn't feel so bad.
Again, This is why I usually don't ever answer tech questions anymore. It always leads to problems for me.
Going back to restorations, general discussions and jokes section.
Sorry for letting out my thoughts again in the tech section.
Will NEVER happen again. I slipped up, it had been almost a year ago that I did it last time.......:clock:
Peace Out!:salut:
