I just got my Imp back from getting the front end rebuilt.
What a difference it made. Rides like a dream. However, as we were turning into
my driveway, a power steering hose sprung a leak, spraying p/s fluid on the hot
exhaust manifold. It caught fire, and took the engine bay wiring harness with
it. Luckily we were able to put it out before too much damage was caused. Let
this be a warning to you guys, check your hoses, and replace them when you
rebuild your front end. I figure the hose was fine for use with the worn out,
sloppy front end. After it was tightened up (rebuilt) it required more pressure
on the P/S pump to it’s job, and the hose let go. I do feel
lucky that it didn’t blow on the road, with no water or fire extinguisher
nearby. In that scenario, I would have lost my car! Maybe
more! Can any of you guys recommend a source for a new
harness? Or a very nice used one? Thanks, Bob Toasty 64 Crown Coupe |
