Started tearing it down,
Items destroyed:
j tube
air box
afm (cover at least insides look okay)
tps (complete ball of plastic)
all wiring, crispy all the way back to the firewall
all fuel lines
injectors
plug wires
oil separator housing
master cylinder reservoir
all vacuum lines
rear carpet (used as a flame suppressant, quite ineffective BTW)

I have to wonder what happens to the DME in such a situation? Since the wiring burned and shorted, who knows? I turned the ignition off right away for what that's worth.

Don't know what to do yet.
Which bit(s) are the hardest to come by?
A big part of me wants to save it if for no other reason than to have succeeded with my boy in the face of utter disaster. Maybe that's all the reason I need.
I'm willing to spend unlimited time on this so labor is not a factor. Parts availabiity and cost is the issue. His 16th birthday is in September.
I'll try to gin up the courage to take some pictures.
