Susan ordered what we thought was a complete exhaust system from FCP Groton.
It arrived promptly but we failed to inventory the box before we started tearing
down. Seems like it doesn't have anything before the pipe that fastens onto
the CAT. The item marked "exhaust" on the packing list is a Starla muffler.
All the stuff looks good but the problem is that her down pipe failed at the
bracket, resulting in extreme noise, and the set we got does not include a
down pipe or whatever goes between the cat and the first muffler. I'll work
that out with them Monday. Meanwhile under the car we noted a black sticky
place adjacent to a dent on the gas tank. Wiping it off revealed a crack about
an inch long, seeping pretty fast.

So we are pumping out the tank using the car's fuel pump. Not sure we can
get it fixed.

Does anyone have a gas tank that would fit a 1980 245 that they want to sell
or trade?

Many thanks
