83 hesitation & stutter – solved!

My 83 ran perfectly before the 4th of July weekend. Monday afterwards it had a short stutter on the way to work. Lasts less than a second and picks up fine afterwards. In the time since then it has gotten worse. Tuesday night on the way home it really started to cut out. The tach does not drop. Seems like a fuel problem.

Fast forward to last night. Looking at the AFM preparing to try and test it out. Pulled the connector off and yikes! the connector pins and plug are covered with corrosion!

Cleaned them up a bit with some fine sand paper but that wasn’t very effective. Pulled the connector off and put it back on about 10 or 20 times to try and get a good connection. Good news – it worked. The car ran perfectly on the way to work this morning.

Anyway, just a little victory.

Question – what’s the best way to really clean this connector?
