NO! Not my Z, but Ami's 69 (again!). I'm beginning to think this car is possessed!! I removed a bunch of rubber fuel line, replacing it with steel lines. But, the 3" piece of rubber hose I used as a junction link - I didn't get the hose clamp on tight enough, and it squirted gasoline onto something and poof! The fire extinguisher was almost resting in my grasp, and a quick squirt, and all was well. No damage - a little soot and a lot of powder (from the extinguisher), but that was all.

A trip to Auto Zone (open till 9AM, in case ya need to know that) and I had me a proper made for that carb steel fuel line. All is well - fired right up as tho nothing had happened and no leaks. But! I'm still

and shaking my head and thanking the Lord for sending an angel to watch over me!
