FIRE!

Just about wet my pants working on the truck today. I had just finished setting my static timing and I was testing to see if I was getting spark. I had one spark plug out and grounded to the frame. When I hit my push start button the engine fired right up. With no coolant, not exhaust, and running on five cylinders blowing out the sixth spark plug hole. Running a bit rich flames were shooting out the exhaust manifold. The only thing I could think to do is throw my hand over the carb which stalled it. I cant wait to get this thing put together. And to let it run for more than a few frightening seconds.
