Any form of heavy grease will work as well, Just want to keep the water
and/or oxygen away from the connections.
In the phone business we use "NO-OX" "also referred to as battery grease,
joy jelly, boy butter, etc.. They only get worse. )

Chuck,
Try using "Kopr-Shield" it's a small 11/2 oz. container with a brush
applicator.
It's made by Thomas & Betts Corp. of Bridgewater, New Joisey. I think I
found it
at my local hardware store. Anyone else use this and where can Chuck find
it?
I use it on the connectors, battery terminals, etc. I used to have trouble
w/
the bugeye horn and its connectors; no problem for over a year.
I just dipped the connector in the grease and slid them together.
I have also used Dielectric Silicone in a tube. It was originally for
"modern"
distributors among other things.
Hope this helps,
Dave
