'85 Jag needs adhesive to glue copper to aluminum

A. Don't let your husband's cursing over the problem bring new meaning to Efland :-)

J-B Weld [affil links] will attach the aluminum to the copper quite well. Crazy Glue should do the same although it's harder to work with. But the thing is, although I don't quite understand the description, it sounds like the joint must be electrically conductive; the adhesive would wreck that.

Better advice might be: there's always more than one way to do it. If electrical conductivity is needed, there will be some way to put a copper eyelet around the screw as a replacement, or to tap the top of the screw. It's just hard to propose a solution when we don't fully understand the problem. Good luck.

Ted is right. If you don't know the function of the part you can't just 'stick it in'

As I recall, the jags of this vintage used an electric fuel pump but I can't be certain of your model.
