Re: My van
As some like to say..."what ah burn". I don't know what its like to see my vehicle burn up 'knock on wood' but i know it defiantly sucks. Couple weeks after my dad did a BB460 motor in his 68 pickup, the JC whitney cruize control wire burnt on the exhaust manifold which burnt through the fuel line to the carb which then spilled raw gas on an open flame, basically making the truck go up inflames. He pulled into the middle of the road to avoid catching the local trees on fire and called 911. It raged on fire for a good 1:30 seconds until some guys drove by and and helped put it out. Then ten minutes later the fire department showed up.
