Re: Flame thrower exhaust.....

I have been doing a lot of research and one of the other guys posted a good schematic of how to create an awesome flame thrower. I am ordering my stuff right now from Ebay. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...28&postcount=8

Re: Flame thrower exhaust.....

somebody created a wiring kit, it was on the show TRUCKS! at one point, you just had to supply coils and spark plugs, as well as find a way to put the plug in the exhaust pipe.

Nothing will put a smile on your face faster than seeing those flames shoot out of the exhaust. Note that these systems have been outlawed in most states...DANG!!!!

Look what happens children when you buy crappy modern plastic motors!

If you go ahead and get the kit love to see how you got on with the install...so take pics

Re: Flame thrower exhaust.....

I cant tell if the back of that FD was painted like that, or if its real... lol.

There have been quite a few threads on this throughout the years. The concept is pretty simple, why not just make your own?

Summit sells the Autoloc kit, http://store.summitracing.com/egnsea...806900&NeXID=5. They have a smoke screen kit too that I was thinking about http://store.summitracing.com/egnsea...806899&NeXID=5. It would be perfect for when some jerk is riding your bumper.

Re: Flame thrower exhaust.....

I have flame throwers on 3 of my cars, and they work awesome when you do it right. I have installed the auto-loc kit and do yourself a favor buy the other one. Its called Spitfire. http://www.hotrodsetc.net/ They are super easy to install, and very safe. Any other questions let me know, I use them ALL the time! Works great when your drunk buddy doesn't have a cigarette lighter AND doesn't want his eyebrows anymore.

"Hey your Truck is on fire!!!"... i hear that all the time.

So which kit did you use? The street kit or the show kit?

Re: Flame thrower exhaust.....

Did the kit have an alternate fuel source or did it cut the ignition off to produce the flammable fun?

No alternate fuel source. This kit kills ign.system and burns raw fuel through exhaust.

Re: Flame thrower exhaust.....

I've always wanted flame throwers on my truck. But all these kits use the fuel going into the cylinders. That't the part I don't like and have held back on buying em'. I've heard of a propane kit, which, if done right, would push a better flame. Anyone ever used one. I know some guys say you'll blow your truck up, but, I've been around propane and butane all my life and your ok if you use your head. Oh, I said propane kit. What I saw was just a diagram on how to hook one up.
