Thanks all, I WAS lucky to catch it quickly. and it was fuel laying below the intake manifold too. Scott, I knew you were the go to it guy on hemi stuff but didn't realize you;d stoop to lowly 440 stuff LOL. Can I bring carbs to you at Nationals next week? or does that create transport problems for you? Turn around time? I had about a 4" diameter blister on top of the hood, nothing major so there shouldn't be warpage hopefully but I'll check. Thanks. Good reminder to all of us why we need to carry fire extinguishers, no doubt.
