Hi All-

I'm helping a friend get his '86 NA back on the road after his engine fire.



I know there are common causes for many of the fires in these cars....



I've got the dynamic chamber and intake manifold off, and I'm wondering what I should replace/examine under there besides the stuff that obviously got crispy (mostly vac hoses, I'm replacing all the fuel hoses too). He got the fire out relatively quickly, there wasn't a whole lot of damage. Just a burst water hose (easily fixed) and lots of nasty white powder everywhere!



Here's a couple of pics:

What's the usual culprit for fires like these? Pulsation dampener? Injectors?



Thanks for the info!

 

Pulsation dampener

 

yeah, it looks like thats where the fire was. the damage is not bad at all though
