71 dart shooting flames from carb, wont start

that makes sense, its coming back to me now that the plug wires were installed with #1 facing towards the cab instead of the engine, which i thought was odd, but it mustve been installed backwards at some point in time and the mechanic just flipped the wires instead. there were a few shortcuts taken that ive noticed so far, like new gaskets placed over old without them being scraped off, etc... i got the car for $900 from a friend who moved to seattle, she had taken it to sun devil auto (total ripoff imo). previously it had been owned by an elderly woman.

im gonna have a go at it today and ill let you know how it turns out.

p.s. crackedback... awesome .gif. ;)
