I was about to take my car out for a ride on a beautiful Northern California day. The car fired right up and I let the water temp and oil temp to get warm as I usually do and the backed it out into the driveway that is tight. Using the "Armstrong Power steering" I was set to go up the drive and be off for my drive. Unfortunately the car stalled on me. I started to get it going again without any luck. At one point I saw flames coming out of the side pipes and I immediately
Turned the ignition off. I then proceeded to run my 5 week old battery down to nothing. The car now sits in my driveway under the car cover connected to a Battery Tender.

My real concern is the flaming side pipes. What could have caused that?

Thanks ,

Lou
