Trying to sell again

Just posted my 1976 Datsun 280Z again on craigslist.com. This time the price has been reduced from $1800 to $1600. Last September I had one person come to look at it. I ordered a fuel relay from Black Dragon Automotive, but the part they sent me didn't fit. The fuel pump relay on a 76 280Z is located under the dashboard, to the left of the steering column. It is made up of two sections, the main relay and the fuel pump relay. The main relay actuates the electronic fuel injection system through the ignition switch and the fuel pump relay actuates the fuel pump and the air regulator. These two relays are built into one compact case. I had to look in a shop manual to find this out, so maybe this will save someone reading this some time. Why a site specializing in Datsun parts would send me a generic single element relay, I do not know. The part is not worth sending back, so out of frustration I decided to re-list the car on craigslist. I suspect that the fuel tank and pump need to be replaced and I just don't have time or room in my garage for a project like that.
