Thanks all. I don't have the money to replace all of the wiring. I've got plenty of "no alox" I think it's called. The goo for Al wiring. When we bought the house we (the FHA actually) required the PO to replace all of the switches and outlets with co/alr units which are designed for the Al wiring. Apparently they aren't really as good as the spiffy crimp (essentially cold weld) connections listed in one document above, but that's what I've got. In the locations where I couldn't find "co/alr" stuff, GFCI's, I used the pigtail method but not with wire nuts and using lots of the no-alox.

I can tell you that I'll not be in another home with Al wiring. I decided that years ago.
