Fuel Injector Recall

[Bucko]

Went out to the garage a couple of days ago and smelled gas fumes. I popped the hood of the BS and checked. No leaks. I then stepped over to the 67 Camaro, and discovered a fuel line was loose at a clamp. A twist of a flat blade screw driver, and all is well. I wonder if the "valleys" of the intake manifold were designed to allow leaking fuel to puddle, and keep it away from the hot manifold (or in my case, headers)?

I checked online, and could not find a TSB for 1967 Camaro potential fuel line leaks due to loose clamp.

I know this is meant to be tongue-in-cheek, but did you actually find puddled fuel on the manifold?

Yes, passenger side, between cylinder 2 and 4. Fuel filter runs across these two into the Holley carb.

I tightened the clamp, and snugged any others. It is kept stock in look, otherwise I'd be installing Earl's hoses and clamps.

Funny man...everyone comes from miles around to hear the funny man talk.
