You use Dielectric grease on spark plug boots as a lubricant and to stop arcing down the plug insulator. Using a conductive grease on a spark plug boot would be looking for trouble.
Conductive electric greases like NO-OX-ID and OX-GARD are conductive greases. Apply it sparingly or it could short the circuit out.
Big difference in my eyes.
I said use grease like Max said, obviously conductive grease as was stated in the post. I said not to use dielectric grease which is the opposite of conductive grease. If you did not know it the very sight of the words electric in dielectric could push you to the wrong conclusion. Basically we (Max and I) agree on the use of conductive grease, I just added a warning. I was refuting old man's statement really.
