Re: Was it karma? or "Why Glass Fuel Filters Suck"

This spring I started my Travelall after it had sat most of the winter. It was in my garage. I fired it up and smelled gas right away. I popped the hood and saw the accellerator pump on the holley carb hemorroging gas all over the intake manifold. I jumped behind the wheel. And backed it out without touching the pedal. I was scared sh!tless that i was going to burn down my house.
My 59 had the same glass filter on it when I bought it. Its long gone now but it scares me to think about how much i drove it with it still on there. A time bomb is what those things are.
