I totally agree with take it apart and
rebuild it. i do it regularly but i had to pass on a lesson i have learned
on all the little sealed boxes you see starting in 73 with the electronic
ignition and continuing into the 90's imperials. i learned to
buy extra boxes that fit my vehicle form the wrecking yard and put them aside
till they are needed. if you plan to keep it a long time it will be needed
someday. It is already almost too late since many of these cars have been
crushed. figure out which other mopars had the same box and get them
cheep now. I predict this is the stuff that will end the collecting and
driving of cars in the 90's and later. someone will make or rebuild hard
parts but i don't expect cheep repairs for hermetically sealed circuit boards in
the future. with the integration of every system tied to the single engine
control module one part can wipe out the whole car. my 79 mopar
truck had the most boxes i had ever seen. with my extra
boxes i can just change the box to make test or repairs without the expensive
dealer's test equipment. this probobly works on any brand car now.
you don't have to pay high dollar for them to change your plug in
boxes. david norris eastland tx , 71
