System Precautions
- Silicone dielectric grease must be applied to all insulating areas at distributor, coil, and spark plug boots. A 3/4" clearance must be maintained at distributor cap mounting edge, spark plug wire terminals, and coil tower, to prevent high voltage arcing to ground.
- To help prevent radio frequency interference, coat the entire brass rotor tip with silicone dielectric grease to a thickness of about 1/8". Do not remove this grease if discolored, because the grease will maintain its insulating properties.
- When replacing spark plug wires, insure wire made of the same material is used for replacement. Silicone/Silicone wire can be identified by the letters "SS" appearing on the wire in White lettering. Silicone/EPDM wire can be identified by the letters "SE" appearing on the wire in Black lettering. The "SS" wire is used on cylinders subject to very high engine temperatures.
