No, this isn't some discarded distributor I found laying in a ditch in a bone yard. This is the distributor out of my '86 GT that I bought a few months ago. (The car had been sitting for six years.) I can't believe the engine ran (and actually ran well) with all this corrosion in the distributor.

I recommend going to a car detailing shop than ordering a product and apply it by yourself. I've done that in the past and I've done so many mistakes. The cost is quite expensive but you really get what you paid for. I got mine from https://ceramicprotection.com.au/ . They did a fantastic job.

I switched to the later and better looking/engineered distributor with the cast star inside; My original bent-tab one was rusty after 30 years....I have never seen one of these later ones rusty; Have any of you seen one that showed signs of serious rust?

After you have it cleaned up, spray the thing down with WD40. Shake/spin the excess off and install.
