Of course. I'm going to give it some baking soda paste then a brass brush treatment to clean as best as possible. Rinse and blow out with compressor. Cross digits and hope it's better than mechanic in a can.

Not wanting to wrassle pulling connectors for replacement, but it may come to that. Probably collateral damage from the seam leak at the top of the A pillar. Some day I'll show that circus mess. Probably should pull the fuse box out and inspect that too. Stay tuned...

On occasion, I will put a little bit of aluminum foil in a suspect electrical connector to complete the circuit. Of course, I would clean those terminals as much as possible with the soda method soak in a peanut butter plastic jar. Unfortunately, the copper plating is likely gone on those terminals.

Fitted the front fender wells, attached the cowl cover, and hood hinges; ran the front light wiring, and installed the charcoal canister. I will install the new front shocks and get the heater/ac box buttoned up before tightening the passenger fender well. Also fitted the rear step bumper so I can mark and drill a few new holes so it’s securely attached with all eight bolts, not four. Installed the gas tank doors too.

OD or not, I still cruise with everyone else in the fast lane. Sure, the fuel cost is more than other options, but you don't have to go slow.

I thought the fuel cost chart was very interesting too. I'm still gonna b!tch about the cost of fuel though, lol.
Like my Grandpa used to say, "You'd bitch even if you was hung with a New rope".

Well, I just got home from a trip to Wilmington NC. I rescued this "jewel" that had been ridden hard down East.

We all said the same! My son & a friend went with me on the trip & when we "beheld" the artwork I immediately said "these guys  methed up & actually spelled thing instead of thang". My son joked the entire trip home of the artwork & had us hysterical by the time we got home.
Being a true son of the South, I don't like folks taking liberties with the stars-n-bars but thankfully we have freedom of speech & expression granted to us. The good folks out in Cali are doing a great job of that currently too.
Here's another fine example penned to the K20 as well.
