I have heard many grumblings about replacing the pulsation damper, but can't find an answer to MY question. I have an 86 NA, and I do not see any fuel pooling, or smell any gasoline odors. The car has just over 56k original miles on it, and I am really trying to keep the car for a long time. (I own an FB which gets babied)

Should I replace the pulsation damper BEFORE it goes bad, or should I leave it until there's a problem? Any viewpoints from owners who have had experience with PD issues are welcome and encouraged!

 

if you have the money, replace it. if you dont and it goes bad, your car could burn and die. It may look fine one day, leak the next, so why not?

I think icemark is working on GM PDs again, not sure. But that might be a cheaper alternative. But the PD is important. I'm not pulling my car out for the summer until it's been replaced.
