Reply to "priming the fuel system"

Doug is correct in being a safety baby. Anytime I mess with raw gas I have a couple of fire bottles close by. (Last fire - yep, we have spark - was accompanied by a fire bottle showing full charge and being worthless!)

I just went through this with a big block Torino that has been sitting for 5 years. Ended up priming the dry carb through the fuel bowl vents and letting the spillage evaporate. Worked ok, but I understand a cracked accel pump diaphram will leak to the outside of the carb.

Be careful out there!
