740 Turbo - Sudden, Complete Loss of Power On Trip 700

Folks,

While on hour 9 of a day-long trip across Texas, on my way up a hill, my 1992 745T started pinging, then almost completely lost power, within about 30 seconds.

Symptoms appeared to be overheating or loss of oil, but no indication of that anywhere. Restarting the next morning resulted in very rough idle and absolutely no ability to move in gear.

No apparently loss of the rubber turbo air hoses.

Hear a slight light clatter from the front, maybe timing belt?

In the past week, I've replaced the main fuel pump and the entire internal tank sending unit.

Otherwise this car has been running like a champ.

I've combed through the posts on this type of thing and was looking for some insight.

Thanks for any advice.
