Yes it can and it could be either the fuel pump or the carb. Many years ago i was working at a Ford dealership and we got in a new T bird that was backed on the car carrier with the nose down . It was one of the first T birds with a 429 When the truck driver went to start the car to drive it off it would not start , driver comes in to my area and asked if we had a battery charger as he thought it was a dead battery from maybe a interior lite left on . I told him go see the service manager and he would get the lot boy to come and jump start it . The service manager called for the lot boy and he got the 68 Bronco we had for our lot dog and it had a Goodall start pack . They opened the hood and hooked up the startall and when the driver hit the key all we heard was a huge explosion and a fire ball and the T bird bronco and the car below and the back end of the trailer on fire . It blew the oil pan and both valve covers off that 429 . She was crispy crittered to bad to tell where the problem was as anything made from alum. was just a glob . The lot boy suffered second degree burns and the driver was not hurt .Good thing we were only a half mile from the fire dept. We used every fire extinguisher we had and were not gaining on it.So you lucked out with it not blowing up on you .

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
