Shuddering engine...UPDATE July,1

Reply #150 –
Tom, I appreciate you. I would never sell the car, but, it makes me feel better to threaten her at times to let her know I'm tired of the . LOL. I already ordered the tank. It's a brand new stock replacement. I think it's the rust from the tank, not an issue from the fuel. We have never had an issue with fuel before with any of our cars. I do think the tank is nastier than I know inside. I'll snap a pic of the inside when I pull it out. May cut the top off just to see. Of course I'd take precautions not to let it ignite.

Vinnie:  Believe were working on the same issue with my No-Start. 

Just pulled Throttle Body, but haven't looked at injector screens yet.
Will post result once I examine them..
Debating right now whether I want to break tabs off injectors as plastic connector hard, old and brittle (see post this forum).  Immersed connector in go-jo hoping to soften the plastic
so needs to sit for a few days.
Any better idea to soften plastic?

Talked to a "carb rebuilder - fuel specialist" and they indicated that Chysler used plastic tanks but Ford didn't.
Assuming you got a metal tank, I'm looking for a plastic one if I can find it.

Where did you get your tank?

I have a metal tank. They don't have plastic ones for our cars. I feel that with a steel tank, it'll be fine for years to come. I have a couple of tabs that broke from my injector plugs. No big deal, they still fit tight, and you can't see them much anyway unless you really are looking hard. You can always install new plugs.

My new tank just got here. Very nice, and new. It also came with new lock rings and the ring seals.

This is the Ebay listing for it....Great price, and it looks great.

I'm still waiting on the injectors to get here, and my injector rebuild kits as well. If and when they arrive, I can get busy getting things done.

Vinnie:

Thanks for the Ebay link to the tank. 
Pulled injectors -- haven't pulled screens yet -- but look clean from what I can see installed.
Taking injectors to shop tomorrow to have tested and cleaned.

Everything but the replacement injectors are installed. I haven't started the car yet, but, I feel a replacement injector is still in order. I'll know soon.

All done. All that I can do today. I still think the injector is bad. Hopefully the replacements will show up soon. The member here said he was shipping them Thursday, so, that was two days ago. Hopefully they'll be here asap.

Did you ever swap injector 8 with another and rerun cylinder balance check and see if it follows the injector?  and compression check in #8 passed?  I thought thats where we all left off..
