Have you checked the connection point behind the radio? I have a similar problem with that from time to time. I haven't taken the time to pull mine apart to clean or fix.

So I had Dimitri rebuild my radio and i put all new speakers in . I still get occasional complete right side speaker cut out. I at this point think that my origional speaker wire must have some mouse chewing damage seing as as how my origional engine and tail light harness had most of it's insulation missing. Eventually I will run all new speaker wire .

I'll try both; the potentiometers, and the wiring. If I'm able to get into the speaker wiring with some help from my daughter, I'll try swapping things around to trouble isolate.

I cleaning the tank; it wasn't too bad, and my daughter helped me with the parts I couldn't reach left-handed.
I pumped out the fuel and removed the baffle assembly:

Wiped with rags without using cleaner:

2-3 rounds of acetone with rags:

The vent tube moves around, but doesn't come out, I'm wondering if I need to do something about that. It's also a little cruddy on the end, I'll clean it if I can reach it.

Made some progress today:
-Installed a Tahoe pump (thanks Chris.)
-Diagnosed no power to the pump (failed RPM relay.)
-Tested the fuel system.
Four injectors are bad, but the fuel distributor appears to be ok. I swapped the two good injectors with the four bad ones, jumped the RPM relay, and tested the spray pattern on all lines....seems to be ok.
After working on a carbed car for the past few years, I got spoiled. Removing the injectors was a PITA.
Jimmy (2706) sent me his Kjet parts; I'm going to start replacing parts, then hope to attempt a "first fire" this week. At this time, I'm pretty hopeful the non-running issue is due to the two things I found today.
I got a couple of rpm relays available if you need one. Got a Hervey one and a newer one from dmcmw
