Stop in for a cup of coffee

Good afternoon, looks like we are keeping busy with our Mopars. Went to pick up a few auto supplies today, got back in the Fury and it wouldn't start. Wasn't much fuel visible in the filter, and my fuel gauge is not accurate, so I figured I was out of gas. Walked to a gas station with my gas container, put the gas in the tank, started up...went to a gas station and the pump clicked off after 10 gal...so I don't know. But I made a couple other stops and it started fine. One nice victory today, the hardware store had the Mopar shaped key blanks, so I had spares cut. Also Auto Zone had my oil filter for half-price so I bought the two they had.

After the engine had cooled a minute or two, I thought I'd crank the engine over a little to try to circulate the coolant a little. I disconnected the coil and cranked.

The engine coughed and backfired. I suppose the heads were hot enough to ignite at 10:1 compression.

Is that something I should worry about?

nah - you should have heard the GDed back firing I dealt with last time I put the engine back in - OY!!! - but it's running fine now.

Funny several ladies in front of me, I overheard the clerk ask them brusquely "what's your weight?" and each answered "same," at one point the clerk rephrased her question to "what's your weight, same?"
 
Just turn your engine upside down on your engine stand. Ha ha ha....Scampy is still trying to come up with the answer.
