my connections keep getting corroded cause i live @ the beach. This time i cleaned the connections w/ electrical contact cleaner & then caked dielectric grease inside the connector. If i use alot will it still be conductive???? or will i have to go back & clean the connector out some??? (the can directions are VERY vague)

i dont think its supposed to go on the contact surface at all. i believe its non conductive just supposed to help seal out moisture and lubricate spark plug boots and connectors. there is some stabilant22 stuff that will conduct but its mad expensive.

I always just goop it in the connectors, all over the pins. The pins should scrape together when you hook up the connectors, making a good contact. If they don't, they need to be bent over to do so.
