Applying Die-electric compond to S-Plug Boots.

I'm in the process of putting my plug wires in, first time for me
I have some dielectric grease stuff which i bought at the local autoshop to help with the plugs but i also have some "silicone" grease which came with my Accell 9000 plugs. Which should i use.. are they the same thing? How do i play either of them? A quick response would be appreciated as its going to get dark out here soon...

I don't know if there's a difference. Maybe somybody here can tell you. I used di-electric grease on my MSDs. If silicone grease came with your Accell wires, then it must be okay to use that too.

Pretty much the same thing. Use it sparingly on the inner end of the boots and keep it off the metal wire ends and plug electrods.

It's all the same stuff...do it "American Pie" style...get it on your finger and make sure you get it all up over the inside of the spark plug boots before you snap them on the plugs.

For the passenger side remove the alternator & loosen the power steering. That will help give you enough room to access the retaining clips..
