Let us know what happens with the Dielectric grease on the distributor cap terminals. Not sure I would try that although I use in on all sorts of electrical connections and have never had an issue. Dielectric grease is supposed to inhibit electrical conductivity but most spade type connectors make hard physical contact and scrape through the grease to make connection.

Not sure about a distributor cap where there is an air gap - it may inhibit spark energy across the gap. Heck - I don't know, maybe it will increase potential and increase spark energy??? They make a conductive grease that is better suited for this sort of thing but I haven't run across it - would need to find it on-line.
