Zinc
Stumbled across an interesting video about zinc. The answer is at about 11:00.

Didn't mean to contradict you directly. There might have been something in the fuel that was left behind as a solid. Crystalline and solid are two separate things in the materials world. A solid can be crystalline but it doesn't have to be. Who knows, it might have been residual fuel stabilizer, left behind when the gasoline evaporated. Most of them are a witch's brew of chemicals designed to save the metals and the fuel. I took some chemistry courses! 🤢 https://www.lucasoil.com/pdf/SDS_Lucas-Fuel-Stabilizer.pdf https://defender.com/assets/pdf/sta-bil/safety_data_sheet_302110.pdf

Can you replace headlights without taking of headlight bucket?
Hey! If you remove the screws that indicator light can be removed. Unless the PO glued it on. I get nervous just looking at that picture.

Corrosion/rust.- Fuel Stabilizers
Looks like it's another old name sucked up in to a conglomerate. Gold EagleSTA-BIL®STA-BIL®- Fuel Stabilizers
The Project Farm guy just put out a video about fuel stabilizers. Very interesting. (Let's see if it attracts any bots.) TLDW - Sta-bil was the best.- Fuel Pump Hammer Smack
Gasoline doesn't crystallize. I'd drain some fuel in to a clear container and get a better look at it. Not "clear" what you mean by fouling.- 1982 Datsun 280ZX turbo in South Portland PicknPull
Looks like it still has an engine. Says it's a turbo. Row521982 Datsun 280ZX at PICK-n-PULL Portland South JN1CZ04S1CX623964- Z's on BAT and other places collection

I would also measure charging voltage with the engine running. Maybe you are over-charging. At higher than idle RPM, where max output would be high. "Possible causes are: Faulty charging system (stuck or shorted regulator/alternator)"- 240Z assembly line
Never mind. Just my poor memory. They're out there. Blue on blue seems uncommon though.- mallory unilite distributor fails when hot
Could you do the voltage measurement test while everything is cold and working correctly? Too much current will be shown by a voltage drop, and possibly overheating. If voltage shows high current then you can focus on solving that problem. Or at least confirm that you have another bad module. Ideally Mallory would have provided more tests to confirm that the system as a whole is correct for module longevity.- Z's on BAT and other places collection
