Hmmm, I'll give that a try. It'll be a good experiment.

I'm not sure how the pick up tube is on your car, but on my 53 Cavalier is it right on the bottom of the tank, even if there was a pin hole the fuel would have to be very very very low.
Maybe there is an inline filter back by the tank underneath the car? (Not factory.) Or a filter at the carb, if your car has a filter there. I don't think it's a serious issue, probably something caused by the car sitting for too long. Gotta drive our cars! Let us know what you find! BTW, most of us are kind, you'll quickly figure out who the unkind ones are, so I won't list their names!

I would start by making sure the fuel cap is vented. Try leaving it a little loose and go for a drive, maybe it's vacuum locking.
Could also be a bad fuel filter that is plugging after driving for a bit. Maybe something in the fuel tank blocking the suction? Seems to me that "something" is restricting fuel flow. BTW, there are no questions that everyone knows the answers to. We all had to learn! Ask away!

Whatever the white stuff was on the plastic on my armrests, it's coming back after cleaning it off when I restored my armrests a few months ago. Anyone have ideas for treating it? Maybe clean them up and paint them? It's kinda pungent smelling too, I don't want that smell in my car. 🤮

If it's not broke don't fix it.................but sometimes if things are not correct they should be corrected. I would be inclined to correct this as it seems that with the correct parts/tools this would be a rather simple project, and it would put my mind at ease. Actually what I would really do is whatever Ross says to do!

For heavy rust stains, like where metal was contacting fabric, I used Didi Seven without diluting it and put it directly and only on the stain. The longer you leave it the more stain it will remove, but it will also remove any colour out of the fabric, which is okay, you just have to do a little dyeing to get the colour back.
For lighter staining, rust or otherwise, I diluted some Didi Seven with water in a spray bottle for more even application. It takes a bit of experimenting, which I recommend doing. It is safe for fabric so leaving it on for an extended period of time for heavy staining seems to be okay. I tried several other products on rust stains with very little success.

Joe, Did you just do signal and park lights with LEDs? I'm thinking of changing my courtesy, back up, and dome light to LED as well.

What all did you need to do for this upgrade, outside of changing the bulbs? New flasher? Did you need to add load resistors for the signal lights?

Another little project done. The finish on the rear window deck was wiping off, so I gave it a light sanding and painted it. I think the colour/finish is pretty close to original as it's much the same as the portion that was under the speaker cover.
