Norsky,

Some good tips there.  Definitely need to repair the wire.  As for insulating the TBI's, not sure if that is possible but will look into it.

 

Thanks,

Dennis


Wasn't suggesting that the TBs be insulated.  Just was an example of how the carb was getting heat soaked and that insulating it reduced/eliminated the heat soak problem.  Was suggesting to somehow insulate the electronic bits which might help.

Gentleman,

Thank you all for the great assistance.  The issue is resolved.  The previous mechanic that put the ICM into the distributor did not put the screws back in.  It was moving around and messed up the ground/wiring harness.  We found some screws and repaired the wiring harness and all is good now.  I really appreciate all the assistance.

 

Thanks,

Dennis

Thanks,

We didn't need that solution this time but I am definitely going to see if there are areas where we can put in some heat reducing components.
