   Glen,

   Could a backfire into the intake manifold ignite the pressurized
   air/fuel mixture upstream of the throttle with this setup? I 
   know the fuel distributor air flow plate can handle normal back
   fire but I wonder if the above setup would be blown apart if 
   this mixture were ignited. Just a thought

          Yep, I reckon that's a distinct possibility. Fortunately,
          the only time any fuel is injected by the Microfueler is
          when the engine in on-boost. Under these conditions a
          backfire is very unlikely. Backfires are most likely when
          starting the engine or after having just started the engine.
          Under those conditions no fuel would be injected. Another
          good reason to stay off-bost 'till the engine is completely
          warmed up!
