Dielectric grease VS water proof grease
 

I was told by a Tech at MSD I should be putting a waterproof type grease on my connectors on my distributor.He said the waterproof grease that was white was better for conections than the Dieletric grease.

I cant find any stuff like he recomended. or do I really need it?

Like for the plugs to this style GM 8-Pin Module

Thanks for any input

I use whats called" tune up grease" by Permatex sold at Murrays auto.Might be the same as dieletric.

its the same ,thats what Napa sells

Try www.mcmaster.com search PN 1204K12 they have a few choices. I cant seem to link that page.

dielectric grease is great on new clean connections, it can cause all kinds of problems when used on slightly corroded connectors.

I use it everywhere possible on the boat and on my atv and have been doing so for a few years.

What would ya use if there older connections and had had light corrosion on them?

Try your local motorcycle shop. Ask for bel ray waterproof grease. Used it on all the stuff on the jet skis , connectors , plug boots , I used to sink them a lot. http://www.belray.com/consumer/product.fsp?pid=13631

And no this wasn't photo shopped!

there are some spray electrical contac cleaners out there that work well and one that the local marine shops seem to prefer, unfortunately i cant think of the name at the moment.

I'll try and remember.

Ive always used dielectric on all concealed connections new or used never had any problems. You shouldnt need waterproof grease there hopefully its not getting wet. Just get out the KY and use that!

I've been using the dielectric lube from Merc for years. Its good stuff.
