It is my understanding that heat conducting grease NOT dielectric grease is to be used under the ignition module. At least that's what I do. If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me.


You are correct Bill.

I just bought a tube of that stuff a few weeks ago when I was in the electronics store. It usually is white and is called heat sink grease. I went to get the brand off of the tube and can not find it now. It is hiding somewhere right now. It's probably with a set of sockets, a mapp gas torch, and a bag of F connectors that I also can not find.

What also works well is CPU grease used in computers.

I need a full time parts and tool guy to organize things around here.

I try not to go into Rat Shack. It is the place of last resort. But you probably can find both type of grease there. Radio Shack just announced that they are closing 500 US stores.

Maybe I put that tube in the GMC.
