Re: 1987 astro wont start

rocketman, the pump for an '87 is pretty cheap due to the low pressure fuel system (12-14 psi).
check out autozone.com or rockauto.com
I haven't had to drop the tank on my '89 yet, so I'm not sure of the bolt arrangement - whether they are loose bolts or captured bolts. If they are loose bolts, meaning you have to get a wrench on the bolt head and the nut, those can be acquired at an autoparts or hardware store.
