Along with a liberal application of dielectric paste as recommended, I like to wrap connections like this with marine self-fusing tape, extending well beyond the connectors.

Bond Minicar, case closed.

Woke the old Triumph up for the Spring; topped up the carburetor oil pots, couple drops of machine oil in the distributor, few pumps of grease and finally located and installed an OE appearing green ignition lead set. Late TR's had green hoses and leads and quality green leads just weren't...
