1974 Valiant Scamp, timing retarding when revved
That's good to know, I was afraid it was beginning to overheat. I bought two new ones, a Mopar Orange/blue box and some off brand box. The Mopar box has the same sticky gel like packing in the back of it while the off brand has an epoxy fill. I wonder if it would be ok to fill the old one with epoxy? I'm just trying to bullet proof this thing a bit while waiting on parts to come in.
I did get some of the wiring harness cleaned up and redone, I also found a cable with a thick enough gauge and length for the alternator to battery connection. I am doing the fleet bypass on the car with a junction distribution block for future additions and fused supply leads to the stock black/red wires under the dash through a grommet in the firewall. It should work well enough to serve the car well into the future I hope.
I took breaks in between wiring, crimping, looming to hose down the top and get it cleaned up. It came out better than I thought. My only concern is patching the rear window channel.
