Anti-Seize vs Moly Grease

[Poser]

Nope.

I live in MN. Just work for a Caterpillar distributor here, and looked in the dealer guide for something close to you...

Did you get a safe source book from them, or were they out?

Cool. Well, thanks for looking it up. Greatly appreciated it. No book. They refused to give me one saying it was only for corporate accounts. :(

Thanks for the help.

if the greese doesn't conduct electricity, then how does the current pass between the contacts of the rotor button and the contacts in the distributer cap?

It is the metal to metal contact. The grease makes sure that everything else does not start corroding. WHen you use it on (for example) an HEI spark plug, you coat the entire contact area of the plug - then when you snap the wire on, that action wipes the grease from the actual contac point. all other areas are the protected. On HEI, this is to prevent the high voltage arc from seeking an easier path to ground.

I'm late to this thread, but FWIW, anti sieze works great on spark plugs, especially in 2fs with rusty sixth-cylindar threads! It's like pancake syrup, though--get it one place, next thing you know it's all over. Use sparingly. I usually just put a thin edge on the leading threads and it gets spread out as you screw in. Hmmmm, kinda like KY . . . .

They've got it in Crap Boys, even if the staff can't find it. . . .
