Repairing the fuel level sender
Since the Capri sat for many years, the fuel tank is destroyed and rusted from the inside. The fuel pump retainer ring won't even come off and the fuel level sender took several days of soaking and love taps with the brass pick and rubber mallet before moving.
Since the 84 is an odd-ball year, no one stocks the replacement level senders. Through searching around I found a company, S.U.R & R. (http://www.fuelsender.com/) that rebuilds the sending units for cars that you can't buy off the shelf. I sent it to them a few months ago and got it back in about a week.
Amazing the difference!

Not bad for $120 plus shipping!
