Re: wire connectors...another option ?
Ford used the connectors for a long time. If they have the proper male and female connectors, they are usually very difficult to separate but a lot has changed over the last 20-years. I've broken wires trying to separate them on some cars. The modern parts are all over the place in quality and function from very good to complete crap.
In aviation, a dialectric silicon grease is used for good reason. I've used DC-4 for all the years I've worked in aviation. You don't want a grease that will conduct from one pin to another when you are sealing cannon plugs with multiple pins in there. When you're installing a distributor cap in a high tension magneto, you don't want cross firing to the housing or another lead. A good tight connection easily pushed the grease out of the actual connection and seals it to any moisture that may try to get in. I don't know where folks get the idea that a grease will keep the two mated terminals from making an electrical connection. This stuff has been in practice since Christ was a corporal. |

I always use heat shrink tubing on my connecters. It holds the connecter in place, waterproofs and comes apart later if need be.
