Inched a little closer this evening. This took way longer than it should have, but installed fuel lines and pre-filter. Somehow I managed to make that task last about an hour.
I installed the vac hose from pump to booster {been holding off so I wouldn't snap off a fitting}. I also installed a sender into the thermostat housing for the glow plug timer as per Chris' advice in this thread.

Now I need to make up a wire for that, and I need to secure the front AC line somehow. The mounting brackets for mounting/securing at both sides of engine are broken off.
I need to figure out how I am going to do the accelerator and cruise linkages and brackets. Certainly two conflicting styles there!
Need to fill radiator and block with some water {for now}, get some power steering fluid, oh, and a battery!
Is there anybody local that has a wholesale account with MB who could check on the price of a genuine MB battery? Autozone was $69 bucks for a group 49 that was 850/1000.
I hope to have China girl running this weekend. We'll see.......
