Just put a MSD in my car I had laying around. Rust like you said. Read the post on here from a while back. Cleaned it with emry cloth and used WD 40. Working good.
Bought a extra pickup just in case.

This is a good reminder. I read a post about this a while back. When I bought one, I sprayed the inside with Zep45- a commercial grade WD-40 like spray. It hasn't rusted a bit in 2 years. My buddies, on the other hand, was starting to rust pretty good when we had it opened up to shorten his advance curve so he could run more initial timing.

Cap after cap that racers took off at the CC at Norwalk, were rusty..
EDIT>. Not the cap. the reluctor and misc. parts under there.. I heard that their terminals are aluminum with brass coating.

I too live where there is high humidity, but no rust under mine. I did drill a couple of 1/8 holes in my MSD cap when I put it all together two years ago. Had the cap off last week, and it still looks good.  codfish

Not just rust on the cap but the reluctor and pickup also.
The Firecore Dist. doesn't seem to have these issues
Which one is the "Firecore"?
