If you have the room to install a system, these are nice and give you some peace of mind.

We put one of these systems in the Herbie X. I will have one in my car but haven't had much time to get it done. I put a hand held fire extinguisher in all my vehicles and every one that leaves our shop. You just never know when you will need one. I think the system cost @ $350.

Hey Ed,
engine wiring is super easy to fix, you should try doing it yourself

Dave,

I will talk to you about a setup once I get to point of installing my engine. ;-)

Maybe in another year....hopefully

Ed I don't know if your car had this going on, but here goes ...

Public service announcement time:
Never put a filter on the pressure side of the fuel pump, avoid putting it in the engine bay at all.
Under the fuel tank or above the transaxle are ok.
- cheap filters can crack or even burst under pressure especially if the engine is running hot, the engine bay area will get warm
- filters can get heavy (filled with fuel) and wiggle the fitting on the carb loose

... fuel filter rant over

Yes, I have seen that mentioned Bryan, I guess I should have dealt with it right away. Too anxious to get out cruising in the new toy.

Insurance appraiser is coming by Tuesday afternoon, we'll take it from there.


cheers

Ed,

Dang, really sorry to hear about this!

Wiring the engine compartment is fairly straight forward. Depending on what sort of auxillary junk and accessories are wired in, there should really be under 10 main wires to contend with.

I've had mixed experiences with Arno's personally (last was about 4 years ago). Remember, nobody cares more about your car than you do.

Hey Ed post a pic of the carnage, depending how severe it is you might be able to get it back on the road fast
