Default question about di-electric grease

is there a need to use di-electric grease on spark plug wires for both connection points? or should I just slap the wires right on in?

No need for di-electric grease at all.

Don't know about that. It sure makes removing the boots a hell of alot easier.

Don't use di-electric grease. Use a little silicone spray on boots instead. Works better and won't make them greasy or fall off of spark plugs. Have seen customers try this before and have experienced this issue a couple of times with them.

Not saying you're wrong, Jim. Just saying, I've seen problems with this before.

Good post though

True. I don't usually consider the people who don't understand what a "light" application means.
