I had the floats set wrong and gas flooded out of the carb like a fountain and started a pretty good fire. All is well but I toasted some wire.

Good investments for your stocker:

Painless Extreme Duty wire under the hood
Fire extinguisher next to the seat

Dale, investing on the Magnafuel pump was not a bad investment.
The Holley fuel pumps have been having lots of issues, especially leakage due to warped housings ever since they started manufacturing them in China.

Don't blame the fuel pump when you admitted to have set the floats incorrectly.
