I'm good with instrument clusters (and spare) but I'll have to check it out anyway.
what is that, ELECTRONIC FUEL is all i can read

Both my R-body and M-body had these covers. I had to put a board underneath the battery because newer batteries were shorter. Interestingly, the cover for the 1980 Gran Fury also contained the windshield washer fluid.Thermo Guard
That's an much better location than over the coilBoth my R-body and M-body had these covers. I had to put a board underneath the battery because newer batteries were shorter. Interestingly, the cover for the 1980 Gran Fury also contained the windshield washer fluid.
Yes B's and C's did this as well I believe.Both my R-body and M-body had these covers. I had to put a board underneath the battery because newer batteries were shorter. Interestingly, the cover for the 1980 Gran Fury also contained the windshield washer fluid.
Stupid question, if I found a battery cover with a windshield washer fluid container off a B or C, would it fit in the battery area of an M body? Because I hate having the container over the coilYes B's and C's did this as well I believe.
Fair pointIt's sealed anyway and the hood isn't so more water would get to it from what rain gets in there then the washer bottle.
Can I join the club too, my front fender and door skin were replaced in 1981 after my uncle sideswiped somebody driving in the city, and the crappy paint they used is falling off exposing the primer while the rest of the paint is fine. I don't know what kind of tan paint/primer mopar used in 1980, but while it may look rough after sitting outside for 43 years there's virtually no rust anywhere on the car. Also I see the OP is a member of the replacement bumper filler club too, probably the flimsiest part of the car.That is a good looking automobile. I'm also glad I'm not the only one in the bad paint club
Dude, I'm still impressed you found a pile of bumper fillers on ebayCan I join the club too, my front fender and door skin were replaced in 1981 after my uncle sideswiped somebody driving in the city, and the crappy paint they used is falling off exposing the primer while the rest of the paint is fine.

No, a magnet sticks to it so it's steel. Mopar used a reddish brown primer on all their replacement metal from this time period and it appears that it's just terrible for aftermarket paint to stick to, but the primer itself is very durable and rust resistant. I think after all the problems they had a few years earlier with fenders rusting on f bodies they finally put the issue to rest.You sure that isn't a fiberglass fender? They made them as an OE replacement at one time for the F body cars and that paint looks like what it typically does on a fiberglass surface after years of flexing.
