MSD distributor

Very recently I found some time to go over my Camaro and started with the ignition system. Asked on the forum about ignition wires and thanks for all the recommendations . I ended up with MSD 8.5 wires. Bought a new cap and rotor and went about my business replacing parts. The problem I came across when I removed the cap on the MSD billet distributor was an awful lot of corrosion buildup on the distributor parts. Looks like light rust but it was getting dark out so tough to tell until I pull it out tomorrow. Is there anything I can use to clean up the inside without doing any serious damage to any electrical parts. It is a mechanical advance version. Thanks, John

PS. ---has anybody had this problem or is it from just sitting in garage for long peiods of time ?
