OK guys...I really need some help. I recently bought an AutoProm ALDL programmer and I am no closer to a solution than I was before I removed the "old faithful" carb.

Just yesterday I took my brother for a ride in the hotrod while he was in town for an overnight stay while he was transporting his everyday ride from the west coast to the east coast...see attaced picture. We smelled something burning and pulled over. Upon inspection, I realized the computer was in Limp-Home mode and before I knew it, the coated headers were cooked!

What is causing this? The injection is running very fat...I already knew that. So why are the coatings on these headers burning up? To say I am ready for another carb is an understatement! I thought the more fuel, the cooler the exhaust tempurature, why would the exhaust get so hot it would bake the coating?

Any ideas?

thanks, and if this isn't easily fixed, let me know if you are interested in buying a slightly used FI setup!
