Ok - the interesting question got lost in the fluff of my last question...

There's a lot of mechanical know-how here and I am wondering if anyone has
seen anything like the following:

Minor tune up on recently purchased 83.5 Westy. Noticed one terminal on the
distributor cap was highly corroded (front left cyl nearest driver).
Replaced the cap with a new one ~ one month ago. Checked again yesterday and
the same terminal has started to corrode. Anyone seen anything like this?
The wires do not appear to be cracked...
