Engine stalls intermittently…ignition switch?

[Davefinan]

What corrosion inhibiting compound do you recommend?

 

[Davefinan]

The fix.......sell me the car, I'll fix all the miscellaneous gremlins......loose/corroded bulkhead connections (solder all wire/terminal connections), bad coil, bad ballast resistor, distributor pickup coil, vacuum leaks, overheating issues (with correct fan clutch, lower radiator hose with spring), correct pressure cap, set timing for optimum performance with manifold or ported vacuum advance (you decide which is BEST for you), using NGK -5 spark plugs, ethanol free fuel......and NOT USING A DIELECTRIC GREASE (as its an insulating compound....but using a conductive/corrosion inhibiting compound), wash and wax the car, with ALL Tyre valve stem caps torqued correctly. My charge for this service is: price of car plus 40% fee........then all you need to do is use the car....instead of fussing over minor stuff......just something to consider........????.....

BOB..
I must have missed it..
But what are the torque specs on the valve stem caps?
Thanx.
Just my $0.02..

I was just trying to inject a little facetious "humor". The torque on the tyre's valve stem caps can vary depending on brand and length of stem.....but depends on whether you're a Metric or US measurement person......but the correct value is: 17 inch/ounce or 4.3 newton/meters....or just enough.......

DOW Corning made a product called "NO-OX". I used it when assembling bolted busbar connections on 1200 amp 5 kv metal clad switch gear. It was a material that looked like yellow margarine but was conductive yet prevented corrosion in the bolted connections. It was brush applied in a thin coating between two joints......worked extremely well...great when used on battery terminals and the connector. ...try a Google search.....

Yeah I’ll do that. I remember from days working as a union construction electrician a compound with a similar name. I think it was nolox or close to that. Everyone on the job had a different name for it. I suspect a brand name probably.

 

[Davefinan]

I think the name that was used was pentrox.

We used on connection s of aluminum and copper together.
