As usual they said it's ready come get it. Well the battery was dead as a wedge and they forgot to re-install the original front seat belts. Nimrods.

At the bottom of this image -- passenger's side of the engine -- there is the oil filter to the left, followed by the distributor, and 2 more objects. One is probably the fuel pump. What is the other one?
 
I'm seeing maybe a fuel pump and a coil.

She finally tooled out of the shop, only to quit the next day. I'd been concerned about a bad ground but was told by two sources that nah, all was good. Then she died five miles later on a new battery. A new shop quickly found a bad ground made of old thin wire and changed it out, back in action.

Then, twenty-five miles later, the master cylinder let loose, but that was quickly replaced.

Now, the fuel tank, which had been resealed from the inside out using special goop, busted a major leak. The questions are:

Does a '64 tank fit?

Or should I try to reseal it?

And, yessir, that is a '59 daily driver Ranchero in the background. Any bids? Runs good and only driven to church on Sunday by a little old lady. We only talk A Body 'round here.
