A couple of years back. My bronco caught on ire. Thankfully I got it out,but almost cost me my life. As I got to thinking about it--hears my 3 reasons. #1 It had a big air breather on it. If I had --had a small air breather on it. I could have seen the gas puddles built up on the intake. #2 it had a electric choke on it--a loose connect could cause a spark--which can cause a fire. I,m going back to manual.. #3 on these new Holleys. The pipe feeding gas to the rear 4 barrel---DOES NOT HAVE A BOLT IN LINE. LIKE THE OLD CARBS. The NEW CARBS--HAVE A SMALL GAS LINE --TAKING THE GAS TO THE REAR FUEL BOWL---BUT IT SLIPS INTO THE REAR FUEL BOWL AND HAS A RUBBER SEAL AROUND THE PIPE---IT IS NOT BOLTED IN. Anyone knows rubber rots and can tear easily. Holley should correct this . A visit to the burn center--taught me alot.
