I think I killed it :'(

[alwaysFlOoReD]

I had a distributor stop turning (can't remember what happened) and I sat cranking and cranking the engine and when it finally sparked it blew the muffler wide open because it was filling up with raw gas...

This actually happened to me twice...you'd think I would have learned not to crank the engine repeatedly with the fuel supply attached on a hard start...

No...I simply had an extra $100 that I didn't really need and wanted to have a bit of fun by blowing up my muffler...

I used to do that on purpose....cruising down the strip, cut the ignition for a few seconds, then turn it back on....nice big BANG! I did it until I blew the muffler....


PS; only works with carb.

If you've ever seen any of the Ford 3 valve V8 motors. The ones that the sparkplugs break. They have very little problem with some of the ceramic falling into the cylinder. You should try to get as much out as possible.
