Looks like Ace Hardware carries it and there is an Ace Hardware just down the street.

Well, again, I live in po dunk Oklahoma and for as big as this city is there is very little here. Conoco-Phillips has their grubby little paws in this town and it dont seem they are very interested in making this place competitive with places like Tulsa, Oklahoma City, etc.

The one ACE hardware we have is about 10 miles or so to the north and Ive been in there and you can almost spit across the store.

haha, I think I been to Bartlesville back when I was a field tech.

It could be such a wonderful place.

Toasty, I plan on buying a new internal connector for the tranny from one of the vendors. Im not sure what the best plan of action would be, but this stuff seems well suited to keeping those connections in good shape.

I dont think so, and what is not clear to me is whether it is the connections of the internal harness that get messed up over time being exposed to the heat, fluid and such or if it is the wiring itself.

Either way, being able to rule out the contacts and connectors themselves would be nice.

In which case, if that is so, the stuff would be pointless.

You know me all to well already. Thats scary.

Thanks..........................................I think.

Not to start a problem, but wouldn't adding a conductive grease around the spark plugs help to induce a short or a jump, cause if electricity can flow over the porcelain it will...

I know you were gonna use it in your transmission, I just want to warn those reading this about putting a conductive material in places that it is gonna cause problems

I guess that would depend on how liberal you are with it and what kind of condition your plug boots are in. But you bring up a good point though.
