I found the Culprit for No-Starts on Humid Rainy Days 200 1982

I finally figured out the component that causes my car not to start on Rainy/Humid days. It's the Silver-in-color box, (looks like an "old" relay), between the coil and the battery. It's metal, and attached to the fender. I used to take a blower to it when ever it acted up, but now I just used a lighter to heat it up. Hope I'm not damaging anything. It works every time!

Can anyone tell me what this component is, what it does, and if I might be causing any damage by heating it up with a lighter? Also, has anyoine ever "sealed" this part to prevent the no-starts?
