Re: shooting flames out the tail pipe?



how did you do it with your plymouth? Well i only have one more year left,
before i don't have to take emissions no more.. anyways.. here in
washington. it doesn't seem like they do visual inspections. i know they
didn't with mines or with other of my families cars.

The question is, how do you wire up the sparkplug? i guess shooting fuel
into there wouldn't be a problem.. just use an electronic injector and wire
up the sparkplug somehow
