We almost caught my shop on fire trying to start up this old 1949 Cadillac 331

I thought you all might get a kick out of my brother, my dad, and myself firing up this old 1949 Cadillac 331 engine for the first time in years.

FIRING IT UP!!!!Molotov cocktail any one--- (all you needed was a "rag chaser')  How about having a fire extinguisher handy--- just saying.  Everyone is having good fun... thanks for posting and letting us see all the fun and excitement.  James

I wouldn't be posting that all over.   Goes against most of the fuel safety rules.
I don't understand why people would think that's "kool"?

Are we all 15 again?

When I fired my first 59 Eldo B up for the first time, after a ton of resto work - YES, I WASS GIGGLING LIKE I WAS a 15 year old kid.

I have a video of that first start - no I will not post it - gotta a rep. to maintain.

No shame in feeding a center carb of a tri-power with gas from an old mustard squeeze bottle you would use on a hot dog at the fair - still have on the shelf, marked GAS.

OSHA - give me a break - we didn't need no stink'n OSHA.

have fun, I know my son and I did.
