Saw that on craigslist and considered it. I believe it is an auto-stick?
What are your plans for it?

RIGHT NOW.....GET IT AND ALL THE PARTS.....GET IT TO RUN...DRIVE....STOP. CLEAN UP THE INTERIOR A LITTLE AND ............FOR SALE IT COULD USE SOME BODY WORK BUT......DONT REALLY WANT TO DO THAT UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECCESSARY. I WILL PROBABLY SELL SOME OF THE PARTS AS WELL. I HAVENT GOT IT YET (ONE OF THE "PARTS") BUT ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT AN ENGINE THAT THE GEN. STAND IS ACTUALLY PART OF THE CASE AS WELL AS THE FUEL PUMP COMING OFF THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE ENGINE WHERE USUALLY YOU SEE THE OIL SWITCH? ITS A SINGLE PORT AND HAS A TUBE ON THE HEAT RISER FOR THE PLUG WIRES. IM THINKIN EARLY EARLY BUG OR BUS ENGINE. I WILL RUN THE BLOCK NUMBERS WHEN I GET IT.
