En route to BBTB, dirty contacts at distributor hall caused stalling
engine cut out issues. I cleaned those contacts at the Auto Zone
parking lot with fine emery and contact cleaner.

At BBTB I discussed the issue with a well respected Vanagon repair
tech who then mentioned a high quality $$$ cleaner he liked to use on
crucial connectors. IIRC, it was stabilant-22. IOW, using that
would've required less fussy work and might do a better job.
