We've all been there! I was changing the fuel filter on a Rochester Quadrajet when I was young and stripped the threads on the carburetor - the filter housing was steel and the carb body was aluminum. Didn't realize you have to remove the hard line first which puts constant pressure on the housing. A 79 cent filter turned into a $200 new carb. There have been dozens (hundreds?) of similar incidents in my non-mechanical attempts at mechanics. :) Great vid, Rudy.
