Dizzy gasket could be leaking. Do the dizzy indexing on that old dinosaur Renix rig at the same time. Post 13 in my signature link.

Is there any product out there that can seal a leak from the outside? A silicone spray or something... My oil filter adapter 0-ring is leaking and theres no way i can get it off unless i cut it off... The T60 is completely stripped out from the previous owner(s) i imagine.

Would that leak cause oil to hit the block as well? It's quite a mess from over time. I don't have access to tools to cut anything being at school. I need to find a hose somewhere that will allow me to thoroughly degrease everything, but for now I'm trying to figure it out.

as much as id LOVE to cut the adapter in half (and hopefully hit a fuel line with some sparks and be done with the damn jeep) i simply dont have the time, im moving in 10 days and the jeep is about to go on a 500 mile journey

Excellent
Perhaps hit a junkyard and see if you can source a new oil filter adapter, or cut a slot into the head so you can turn it with something else.

no such adapters exist n the junkyard, all their Cherokees have been picked clean of all engines and radiators

I'm going to replace the o rings that I already have on the oil filter adapter and see if that helps. Pictures show it being more of that than the distributor. Shouldn't be too hard with a breaker bar and pb plaster.

Looks like the delay module is wired in parallel with the headlight switch. Bound by the same 30A fuse, etc.
The diagram isn't terribly clear on how the headlamp beam select switch connects to the rest of it. It makes it look like there are two wires (marked L2) crimped into pin 6 - not spliced and a single wire crimped in to the module.
What one could do is undo this wiring so that Headlamp Switch pin 2 is a straight wire to Headlamp Beam Select Switch pin 2. Headlamp Delay Module pin 6 could feed a relay that powers the reverse lamps, and then another wire spliced in to the "L2" circuit between the Headlamp and Beam Select switches. "L2" and your newly created leg with the relay should be separated by a diode to prevent backfeeding, so that the reverse lights don't simply come on with the headlamps.
I'm not going to do a diagram for you, if you can't figure that part out you shouldn't have asked in the first place lol
Of course all this assumes the headlamp delay module is only engaged when the Jeep was turned off with the headlamps left on... guess you'll have to test that lol
Sounds like a cool project!

I gets to do my homework now. Have to see like you said if headlights would turn the reverse lights on
