So.. I had Ruby out picking out some Labor Day steaks. I got a beauty of a Porterhouse and some burger. Came back out and she started running really bad, backfiring out the exhaust and no power. I stopped and called my mechanic who said as long as I have oil pressure limp it to the shop. I sounded like a ricer going to there. Upon arrival, I found I had no brakes and there was a lot of smoke coming out from under the hood. I popped the hood and…Flameage! I ran inside snatched an extinguisher and put the fire out. I won’t know til Tuesday or Wednesday what the damage is. On a positive note it starts right up and runs really bad. Early diagnosis is I lost ignition in 5 and 7. The injectors continue to pump out gas which blows up in the exhaust. The fire? Well..we don’t know what that was. And it never occurred to me to take any pictures.
