When I installed my new engine, I cleaned up all the electrical connections
and re-assembled with di-electric grease.  No problems so far.

Subject:    electrical boots

After 18 years, every time I disconnect an electrical part (fuel
injectors, Temp2 sensor, etc...) the nice rubber boot that protected the
connector from the weather disintegrates in my hand. Last week I changed
out the Temp 2 and the boot fell apart. This morning we had a "Hollywood
rain storm and my Westy was running really funny. Coincidence? I think
not. So what do I do to replace these boots and seal up my connections
again.
