Default need some quick help on plug wires!!!

Hey guys. I'm putting in my Magnecor wires and fushion plugs today and I just wanted to know if i should put silicone grease on the wire terminals. I've heard that this is good practice but the instructions for the wires say not to stuff grease into the boots. Does this just mean don't put too much or does it mean dont use it at all. Thanks for the help in advance

And just a small amount on either end of the wires.
How is the installation going, do you have secondary air and are you going to try this without removing the intake?

Okay I will do that thanks alot. Mike, I'm just about to start. I dont have secondary air on my 99 so it seems to be relatively easy to get back there without taking out the intake. Do you mind if I give you a shout if I run into any troubles? Thanks again

Usually a small tube of grease comes with plugswires that recommend use of it or state the need of it on the box. If it says not to or its not needed maybe its better not to.

Well I just finished and took her for a spin. She runs beautifully................ the engine idles better and I get more fluid power. It really wasnt that bad getting the plugs in and out of the coil packs. Maybe its just these gurly hands of mine. If anyone needs help doing it in the future just let me know. Thanks to all especially Mike!!!
