"... While the battery in question is not in a Corvair, others might have  
the same problem. In spite of everything I have done - new battery, new cables,  
new correct terminals - I have a battery in my F'93 ord Exploder that insists 
on  having it's positive terminal produce corrosion. I have been able to 
control it  somewhat with the red protective spray, but it still sneaks back. I 
have six  other vehicles and have not had to use the spray and have not had the 
same  problem with them. Any tips as to what else might be going on in this 
vehicle?  Thanks, Grant..."
 
Hi Grant... the problem is likely being  caused by electrolyte seeping up 
around the post. Not aware of a proven retrofit  sealant, but there may be one. 
Perhaps try a layer of Vaseline around the post  where it meets the top of case.
