Okay, you can't look because I don't have my camera here, but a box arrived that contains a brand new mechanical fuel pump (aka "Bomba de Gasolina"), complete with screwed-together housing (rebuildable!) and a glass sediment bowl! I didn't even know they still made them like that! Plus, in the box were a couple of official Dodge Boys key rings.

It's a thing of beauty, for sure! As for the engine it will eventually go on, I got it installed in the Wittenberg M37 out on my land, got everything hooked up, fluids all topped off, started cranking it, and found no spark due to points not opening, due to arm being rusted to pivot. I never even thought to check the points before I took it out to the boonies. So, drained the water out and am back in town to get points. Funny thing, out there I have 3 other 230s with distributors on them, one in a truck, two in a shed, and none has the same points as this one. I thought for sure I could just "borrow" a set, but no such luck.

Anyway, thanks to the Dodge Boys, one more 230 has been saved from the indignity of wearing an electric fuel pump.
