My recent Cobra disaster(s)

[Rebel79]

A few weeks ago, one of my fuel pumps decided to quit. I was too lazy to figure out if it was my T-rex or not. Hell I hate the car anyways. :/ So a couple of weeks ago, I was driving around my little brother and sister, and all of a sudden the car shut off! So I started it back up again, and smoke started pouring out from under the hood. I quickly shut off the ignition and popped to hood.

I found that the lead going to my T-rex (which the previous owner SMARTLY ran under the car) caught on fire and completely burned up. The zip tie holding the lead wire off of my exhaust broke, and severed the wire. This caused the wire to arc against my exhaust. GREAT! The next day I replace the lead wire, this time running it inside the car, only to find out that I now had a fuel leak in the braided line going to my fuel pressure gauge. Upon closer inspection, the fire from my lead wire burnt the line, causing it to leak. THANK GOD it didn't ignite!

So anyways I get that all fixed, and went for a test drive. I tightened down my distributor nut, since it kept loosening and retarding my timing to -6°. The car finally had power, however I didn't dare get on the throttle, since I didn't want to ruin a good thing (that the car was running!). So I went to my little brother's house.. or so I thought. I didn't make it a mile and half down the road when the car suddenly died. I had fuel pressure, but no spark. Crap my ignition is all screwed.

So now I am too lazy to bother to mess with it. Plus I am afraid of how much more money I have to spend on this POS. So when I eventually get around to fixing it, I'm putting it on the market the next day.
