And on a sad note... this happened
I was in the process of charging the battery after a long winter. And as I was starting it I noticed that floats where not shutting off. So I took off the front bowl, fixed the float jam and proceeded to fire. And I got a little more than a start up. Luckily everything is insured and hopefully back together soon.
My sincerest condolences. But like the Phoenix it will arise from the ashes brand new. Yours looks similar to mine, Does yours still have the spark control computer? and if not how do you handle torque converter unlock? see my post on PTU solenoid.

It does look a lot worse than it is. thank god. its mostly smoke damage but most of it should just wash off.
And I use MSD ignition box, coil and Distributor with an 88' 727 torqueflite 2500stall.
Damaged items - Holley 650HP, 8.5mm wires, and some minor alternator wire damage and split loom melted. Haven't touched it since its still going through insurance ect.
Also in the process of building a center console anyone recommend wood or metal? I suppose wood would be easier. And I'm definitely putting in a fire extinguisher

if your good with gel/resin, or good with foam/upholstery then wood would turns out nicely, i had built one for my 2002 dakota, quad cab and lost the center seat up front,kept the original steel frame to utilize the arm rest/storage compartment.then housed a 8 inch shallow mount kicker sub and amp hidden away aswell as a headrest dvd player modded in for daughter in rear with own speakers..... anyway used 5/8's MDF and alot of PL Premium and resin over top, sanded prepped painted, look almost original do to utilizing exsisting arm rest..
Was gonna do something similar now to my 92 but making under rear seat box is more fun and can get 2 8 inchers! then il find a factory bucket/console somewere! i seen em before!
