Dear God, The Stang Caught Fire.
Wow, am I Pissed. I was working on the distributor yesterday trying to get my car started, and I tried the 1,5 firing order that I hadn't tried yet. I loosened the intake off the carburetor to see what it was doing, and then, when I went to start the car, boom, the carb backfired, and it caught my air filter on fire, then for some reason, I guess because of the oil leakage I had, the fire pretty much roasted my intake, and quite a bit of other parts on the top of the engine. So Ive had enough, Im taking it back to the guy, I dont want nothing in exchange, except to be out of the damn contract Im on... hes agreed to take it back and cancel the contract. Wow, it sucks.

Before you buy something else make sure to take someone along who knows what to look for.
As the following ads show you will be able to find something better in the area for about the same amount you have already spent.

Just try to stick the private sellers and stay away from the used dealers.
Good luck on your refund and car search.

Way to avoid engine fires:
1) You should have marked the firing order before you pulled everything off, instead of trying to guess later on.
2) Dont start a car that has a loose carb on the top of it.
