I got my Contemporary a few weeks ago and have been trying to learn every detail, but without being the original owner I have some work to do. My first question I wanted to throw out there is how normal is it for a professionally rebuilt 1967 428FE to throw flames? It only happens when I let off the throttle and I've only noticed it from the right side. To give an idea, a few of them have been big enough that I can see it from the driver's seat. I know "people" say, "only a poorly tuned car throws flames" but I've seen numerous professional race cars do it. So, I've always doubted that logic. As long as it's not causing damage I don't mind it at all.
I just don't want to ruin this as I plan to have it for a very long time.
Any ideas?
