Phil Plus, I think WD40 will leave a slight film, which after time (especially in the presence of high voltages) *may* gather a layer of 'dust' that *may* conduct electricity, creating cross firing, etc.. Example, the dirty mechanics trick of drawing a line with a graphite pencil between distributer cap contacts, after awhile it conducts spark, car runs like % $#@! = time for another tune up! = $$$ The only thing I would ever 'spray' into a distributer cap is a high quality electronic contact cleaner, it leaves no film... a good <99% rubbing alcohol will also clean up moisture, but there you're inside massaging things, best only if you've removed it completely. Granted, I'm overly concerned about electricity (read as: "Overkill!"), it's my other hobby. BTW, never spray or pour that stuff anywhere near the other parts of your distributer, it dissolves grease (for us old school points type ign.) I find that for the money & time, it's easier to simply replace questionable ignition parts with quality replacements. > I've seen the mechanic spray something in there, but I don't know what it > was.
