1941 V8 stock Backfiring question
If I had a situation where I had some extreme backfiring take place what damage can be done to the engine?
Specifically can it damage a spark plug? Bob |

Depending on the carburetor, believe it can destroy the power valves. Don't think it should hurt the plugs.

You could start a fire, I had this happen on a school bus non flathead motor, burnt the wiring up before we could get the fire out.
