I am curious if anyone has painted their cleaned up pick-up with nail polish ? Somewhere I read about using nail polish top coat (clear).

I would not recommend nail polish.
The best solution would be using a dielectric conformal coating as used on circuit boards and electronics. There are several available commercially that will sustain an alkaline and high temperature environment. The coatings are available brushable, spray and also in a pen.

This comes from my sons dirt track car that has to run a HEI. Always had corrosion on the contacts, this year I listened to tec west and filed everything to a point and made sure the dist was phased in to a nats butt, but when the cap was popped off this fall it looked like a new unit. Luck or weird science. Tom
