    Bad rings??

    door jamb black pivot thing

    I don't know the technical term for that part, but I call it the door open seat belt retract lever. I also believe it is used to cinch up the belt tight if you're in a front end collision. If you have access to these, install them. You want the restraint system working properly.

    Changing the Fuel Filter?

    When I replaced my filter it was in the car for 17+ years. It was in excellent condition as/in no restriction at all. Only nice clean fuel came out of it when I drained it. You can install a new filter and get one load of bad gas and thats the end of the new filter. Best option is a fuel...
