Hello,
Noticed today my coil looked a bit grooted so took it off to clean it and the connections. Was shocked to see how rusty it was inside the HT terminal - surprised it worked at all! So I cleaned it all out, plus the SW and CB connections and re-fitted. All is well but wonder is it worth smearing some vaseline in there (like on the battery connections) to prevent it getting so bad again?
Thanks,
Pete

Re: Coil Advice Please
Change to neg earth, it reduces the electrolytic corrosion around the terminals

Re: Coil Advice Please
The negative earth theory is more to do with supposed reduced corrosion of the car body.....

Re: Coil Advice Please
In any case, a smear of vaseline is a much quicker, easier and cheaper fix!
