what engine is in it?

I would guess an LG4 carbed 305...get someone else to turn it over and see where the fuel leak is. The fuel pump is on the lower pass side of the engine. It has a feed line on the frame rail. Then it should have a metal line that goes up to the carb.....


Is it the electric latch or stationary? I would just find another latch

its hard to say...not to familiar with the carbed 2.8


I'm sure its a hose rotted out or something....should be fairly simple to find if its leaking that bad
