@Shandangles I couldn't find a discussion thread for your fine automobile...
Was your engine fire caused by the rubber hoses between the fuel rail and the injectors, and is that why the distributor blew up?
Congrats on being the first person on oldschool to have an XJ-S which is also V12 and manual and which ran for a reasonable length of time. I hope you're not pressured to sell it due to minor details like young kids and engine fires.
