I was looking at the used coils I bought for my upcoming turbo 5.3 project and noticed something. One of the coils has some rust on the terminal where the spark wire connects. Should I just clean it and run it or buy a new coil?

I paid $110 for the whole set of eight and new coils are $50 each. I'd almost be better off buying another used set.

 

Just burnish the terminals with a small file and run with it.

 

Some dielectric grease wouldn't hurt either.

 

little scotch brite and alcohol should take it off fine, just dry it good when done

 

3 votes for cleaning it, i'll take that.
