I was sprucing the '67 up a bit over the weekend to take it out for a ride, checking fluid levels, etc., and I noticed an excessive amount of corrosive buildup on the holddown clamp (in a bare-metal area) and on the positive terminal and clamp screw.
The car hadn't been started in several weeks, and I had the negative terminal disconnected. I do this mostly for safety reasons, but I noticed there's some sort of slight drain on the battery, probably the result of the POs "interesting" wiring habits.
I was surprised that I'd find such buildup on these surfaces. I haven't seen it before on the '68. I'm looking for ideas on what would cause this and how to prevent it. Thanks!
