Hi all!
There is a wire going from within the distributor through a hole in the distributor, to the amplifier. The wire runs through a rubber/plastic ”shunk” that seems to be there to seal the hole. Does this hole have to be 100% sealed? The ”shunk” is not doing that at the moment. In fact it is not sticking to the hole all that well. Should I add some sealant or glue or?
Have a nice evening!

Best to keep the distributor as clean as possible just on general principles. Some ordinary RTV/silicone would be fine and, if carefully applied, wouldn't even look bad!

What Doug said.

When I rewired mine, including those wires to the amp, the "blob" became trash.
I used Grey (it matches the colour of the alloy) RTV, and applied a small amount, let if almost dry, applied some more, shaped it a little, and so on, until the hole was all sealed.

Worked for me at the time.

 

Doug and Greg! Always very valuable inputs on my questions. Thank you for taking your time to help me out!
