I'm also kicking myself in the butt.... 2 weeks ago I could have gotten an running, but in rough shape, 802A mounted on the proper trailer for $500. Doubt I'll ever get that opportunity again. I made the mistake of bringing the wife & she wasn't having it. She's usually okay with my projects but...

Fuel level sending unit, top fuel tank well nut, & the double float switch for the auxiliary fuel pump & low level shut off.
