Dielectric grease does not conduct electricity. You use it on electrical
contacts to prevent the power from going the worng way, and it also helps
prevent rust by keeping water away from the metal parts of the connectors,
including the contacts. Very handy stuff. Put a little on the rotor contact
in the dizzy and in the boots of plug wires.
I use vaseline on battery terminals because they clamp securely on the posts.
The vaseline keeps water and air from reacting with battery acid so the green
stuff doesn't form. Plus, vaseline is cheaper and multi-functional. ;-)
