John;
An intermittent condition can be due to fatigued wires where the strands are barely touching anymore, and that based on position or vibration...there is also plenty of heat produced by the arcing and sparking (plasma!) which occurs as the connection comes and goes, so you may be able to follow the heatsource to the open/interm. problem location. You're probably pretty close to the source of problems...
ACZP is not generally considered an automotive item, even for a well stocked automotive parks house (sure, IPD started carrying it in tiny tubes the size of lip protector balm, but at the rate I use it, and send it out with kits, I need to buy it in slightly larger quantities!)...and what does the automotive chain store specializing in neon-license-plate-frame or blue-LEDs-on-the-windshield-washer-nozzles, know or care about vintage cars and restoration/corrosion protection of their electrical connections?
Buy ACZP at commercial electical supply houses...as you likely read, I highly recommend and prefer Burndy's Penetrox product over the Ideal's low viscosity product (which doesn't stay put!) available at the common chain home improvement/hardware superstores...I have even seen Penetrox offered on the familiar on-line auction site, so you can let your fingers do the walking/ordering, and UPS will bring it to your door...can't beat that!
Cheers
