Actually, I was getting cocky and tried starting it too quickly. It fired, but at the wrong moment, and kicked the engine backwards a bit. Well, it was just enough to send the fire up through the 'just opened enough' intake valve.
I heard the fire ignite, and I put it out by crnaking the pee out of it untill it fired up. Might have sucked some paper ashes in too, but it was better than fire bottle juice. (always carry a bottle) I was able to drive it home and all, just gave enough damage to not feel right trading it sight unseen. (interity sucks sometimes)

I've been dubbed the Longhorn Freak/Fanatic/Expert, I just hope I can live up to it.
FINALLY got the HORNIAC...a '70 one ton Longhorn with a Pontiac 350/350 and lots of 'personality'. Check out The Longhorn Webite.
