The GTP Fire

[SDGTP99]

Finally got around to fixing my laptop so I uploaded a bunch of pix. Here's some pix of the damage from my recent engine fire.

You can see the melted fuel line resting atop the s/c

Oops its upside down...

Trashed BBV among other things

[jwjones]

What exactly happen?

 

[SDGTP99]

Ruined fuel pressure gauge

In teardown process

Had to repaint s/c & valve covers

What exactly happen?

If I remember reading correctly, the fuel line popped off.

 

[SDGTP99]

What exactly happened? Nearest I can figure the pressure in the fuel line made the sending line pop off and spew gas everywhere.

Soo if anyone has or knows someone with a fuel line or evap line(the one that connects to the evap cannister then the TB) hit me up those are the only parts I still need.

fuel lines go back to the tank. You'd probably be best wtih an AN setup. That way there's threads and the line can't pop off. Wondering if this is common with zzp rails. Bill Stewarts car did the same.

^^^thats what farnsworth recommended I do.

Finally got her finished! Here's a breif list of what had to be replaced;

Master Cylinder
Fuel lines
BBV
MAF
FPR gauge
Injector Orings
S/C gasket
Wiring Harness
S/C tensioner
Alternator
Tensioner pulley
Accessory belt
S/C belt
Spark plug wire #1
Vacuum line
Wiper fluid bottle neck
And of course I repainted everything & I'm still finding extinguisher foam in places. Since it's done now I'll probably sell it soon.

Call me a noob if you will, but what is that rear bar between the strut towers, and why doesn't my car have it?

 

[MoarkatsINmuhtrailer]

its a strut tower brace, came stock on bonnes, regals and park ave's...you can get them on the aftermarket. this is the cheapest option of them all. but they all work the same imo.

Its a strut tower brace. They help with body flex. They dont come with them from the factory.

Came stock on nearly everything but the "sportscar". Bonne and PA were too big to fit to a W body. Many Regals had then stock, Impalas also had them stock. A JY typically charges about $10 for one.
