Carburetor jets can become clogged, leading to rough idling, poor acceleration, or starting problems. Diaphragms can also deteriorate.
Electrical Corrosion:
Corrosion in connectors and wiring harnesses, particularly in humid climates, can lead to intermittent electrical faults.
Suspension Bushings:
Rubber suspension bushings (control arms, sway bar) can degrade over time, leading to noise and poor handling.
Rust:
As with many cars of this era, rust can be a significant issue, particularly in the lower body panels, wheel wells, and chassis components.
