Alright, I'm going to guess that it's some sort of waterproof stuff that protects the connections blah, blah, blah? Whatever it is, it's sticky. What is it and is it good/bad? I did buy a replacement c100 firewall harness connector since I do plan on rerouting some of my wires in the engine bay and I wanted to start from the starting point. Any help on what this messy goo is? The photo is of the same connector showing both sides.
When I make new harnesses I put CRC dielectric grease in them. You can clean the old grease out, but it's probably more of a pain than it's worth. You can just get a new C100 connector for a couple bucks, they aren't expensive

This. De-pin it and buy a new one. Use PB blaster on the terminals to clean off the remaining ectoplasm. A new one on ebay is like $9.
Back in the 1980s GM had produced many great "sealed" electrical-connectors...
Such as Weather-pack, and Metri-Pack for individual components and inline connections.
GM spent a ton of money creating these connector systems.
However when it came time to producing a "bulkhead connector"...
Money and time were running low.
So, how do you turn an unsealed bulkhead connector into a sealed bulkhead connector for very little money?
Open up the bulkhead connector on an F-Body or G-Body from the 1980s and you will find out!
