'48 170

The guys are bringing the 170 out today for the prepurchase / annual tomorrow; I'm going for a quick flight this afternoon when they get here.

Any real "gotchas" or specific things I need to look for? I've got the book and have read it all, but was wondering about any tips you all might have.

Thanks!
Thomas

One thing comes to mind make sure it has the fuel pump. For a while guys were taking them off but they are required by law and if you need to put it back with out all the plumbing it can take a few bucks.
