Not too far from me

My tank is believed to be rusted at the top too

Thanks, definitely something I would like to do in the future, I'm fine without power windows, I like it that way, but power door locks would make things a lot easier

How hard was it to add power door locks?

The carburetor was rebuilt April 18, 2019, almost 42k miles ago. We replaced the fuel filter when we changed the carb fuel line so that's like a week ago. The fuel pump is three years old and The Cherry Bomb has traveled almost 12k miles since The cap and rotor are a few years old and on the...

But if the pump was bad wouldn't the engine have died after the little gas I poured down the carb ran out? I had to do a short trip today and she was fine, just an occasional stumble after a stop, which has been happening on and off lately, she's been tougher to start the past few weeks...

The fuel pump was replaced three years ago, and I've driven less than 12k miles in that time. I'm pretty sure that replaced the original fuel pump so three years seems a little early to fail, of course the original starter lasted 30 years, and I've had to replace the starter three times since...

Got an update, she was fine until today, made a couple mile trip to give plasma filled out paperwork ECT everything took like two hours, Cherry Bomb fires up, I pull out and she stalls and would NOT start no matter what I tried, until I finally decide to pour what's left in the gas can in the...

The Cherry Bomb's taillight wiring started shorting out everywhere, ended up putting an '87 Fifth Avenue wiring harness on, one of the taillights didn't work so I cut the only socket that still worked and spliced it in place, I haven't had an issue since, I also had to modify the license plate...

I meant to get on here the day after, problem seems to be fixed: we found a few things one of the springs somehow came off the carburetor, but more importantly we found the fuel line to the carb was bent, and all four bolts to the carburetor were loose, also one of the vacuum lines to the...

It's from that white plastic thing, once they crack things like that happen, you can just pop it off with a flat head and put another on, I've found it works best if you put a little crazy glue on. One of mine broke a couple of weeks ago, and I found an '83 Ram conversion van in a local junkyard...

I had to drive somewhere today about 20 miles one way, Cherry Bomb was fine, until I got back to Daytona as soon as I got to the first traffic light engines idling very weak to the point of almost stalling, I had to cash a check a couple of blocks away and every time I had to stop it did this...

Take the B pillar off and look at it, there may just be something caught in it

You sure? I found this in the front seat springs in The Cherry Bomb and she's an '85, infact I was at a car show and a guy had an '87 Diplomat and he found one in the back seat
