After much time and expense getting my 72 Big Block 3/4 Suburban highway ready,the

damn carbuerator float sticks and overflows onto the exhuast manifold and starts an engine fire,by the time the fire dept. arrives well you see the damage,it destroyed all the new belts,hoses,new hei distributor,edelbrock carb. Got the rig to the point I could cruise down the highway at 85 mph.The good thing is the engine wasnt damaged will put the engine in my 68 swb once I go thru it,and possibly put a late model crate in the burb.Now I will have a fire extinguisher in all my rigs.Hey Wynne I will get with you about coming down to get the 4x4.Mike
