I had this happin on my 86 once. I rerouted the wires over the valve cover instead of around it. may not look as glamouris but will keep them from laying in the oil that leaks from the valve cover. Is there any fix to these terrable dukes and there oil leaks. Both of them leak and I can seem to stop them. The 88 seems the worse of the two. I am thinking of doing away with the duke as I can find engines for less them 400 bucks that would be far more desirable engines to have in these cars. I found a 3800 for $350 and he has several of them laying around.
