Choked her, crushed her feeding tube, she wouldn't die!

Apparently my kill switch has been killed. My 69 Pete with 8v71 was hard to shutdown. Eventually I had plywood blocking the intake just before the filter AND vice grips crushing the fuel lines and this was the result.

After waiting a minute to see if she would putter out I jumped in dropped it in reverse and let go the clutch she backed up 10 feet before finally shutting down. I have an intake with a emergency shutoff I will be installing tomorrow. Sure am glad she wasn't running away!

 

After further review, I'm not sure this intake will close off well enough to kill it.

 

That makes sense. Thanks.
Im amazed however how little air it needed to keep idling even before I seriously restricted the fuel. It was obviously trying to get more because the plywood was stuck to the tube and you can see in the video the first fitting by the intake was collapsed from the suction. Amazing to watch!

 

Outstanding! Consider it done. I have always worried about them running away, that would give me comfort.

 

Thanks i've been searching the internet for more info on that intake. I couldn't come up with a reason for the gap, it just didn't seem right.
