There is a copper paste you can buy from Eastwood that you apply with a little
brush in the cap of the bottle to the bullet and replace it in the connector.
The stuff never dries and improves electrical contact. At the very least, you
will prolong the inevitable corrosion due to dissimilar metals (galvanic
reaction). The stuff works great for anti-sieze such as on the manifold studs
also.
