13 Days after the fire tore through the wiring and other stuff in the engine bay, she started up with no hesitation!
Overall cost was around $1000 for all the needed components (big shoutout to Ebay and the junkyard '96 I tore a bunch of stuff out of) That number probably pales in comparison to what a shop would've charged for parts + labor, and I'd be surprised if anyone local wanted to even give it a shot to fix up, so I made do with what I got.

I'm sure @Moparite would be pleased to hear this good news as a fellow Indy owner, and I am extremely happy myself that everything worked out. Only thing is I might have popped a fuse since my radio doesn't work and neither does the ABS, but as long as it runs and gets me where I need to go, I'm pleased. It would be nice to get rid of the ABS light though, so might have to pay the junkyard a visit again for that fuse, and driving without the radio sucks when I'm stuck in traffic.

Other than that, feels great behind the wheel, definitely could use a fresh coat of paint though, and I cleaned out the engine bay from most of that fire extinguisher powder and tried to pretty it up a bit. The K&N plastic quality surprised me since it held up so well in the flames, but those slightly melted bits on the top just adds character.

Thanks @AtomicDog for recommending those fuel hose clamps, hopefully that saves me some headache in the future! I never would have guessed the injector rail hose would need something like that, which is what lead to my little adventure to begin with. Lessons have been learned for sure.

 

Somehow i missed this post, Glad you got it back on the road!

 

Nice job getting it back up and running. Don't see very many Indy's on the road anymore.
