I'll make this quick. Bought my 1977 Cordoba in 1996 and shortly after alternator quit. Replaced it with one from an auto parts store. Only driven the car off and on ~300 miles in last 25 years and have melted the black potting out of the back of two ECUs. The first was a factory Lean burn replacement and the second was a MP dizzy with a chrome box and accel chrome coil.
Question is, can the replacement alternator cause this issue or do I have another problem. The black potting is running down the firewall like candle wax and I never see it doing this while tuning the motor or idling.
Ideas?
