Is this stuff ok to use on ICM

[thinger2]

Yeah IDK, just heard of guy's using it on street rods... But IDK

Im sure it would handle the heat transfer.
I dont know if it would continue to do that in the highly corrosive hostile environment that exists under your distributor cap.
Maybe it doo and maybe it dont.
But I do know that automotive heat sink does work.
You should always be very leery about anything any "hot rod" guy has to say about anything.
Those guys only drive those cars when its not going to rain and they put maybe a thousand miles a year on them.
They are not driving those car show trophys through the mud and snow and rain and salt.
And those guys can be the worst crying whining little babies you will ever meet.
So, it might work.
But, for 5 bucks to buy the right compound?
There is no reason for you to be the guy who finds out.
Let somebody else be that guinee pig.

Nope, the bigger the glob the better the job!

Instructions unclear.

Wife is now mad at me. Very mad.

Is that concrete drywall or a roadside house in Nevada?

As others have mentioned, as long as it's a non-conductive compound I can't see any reason it wouldn't work just fine.

I don't see ignition modules as being particularly picky about which heat-sink compound is used...as long as SOMETHING is used, and it isn't wheel-bearing grease.

There was a time when plain ol' silicone dielectric grease was suggested. I think we can do better now, but in a pinch...

My only experiance with the silver based compound is using as a conductive anti-corrosive compound to fix LCD display problems on Fluke multi meters.
Which buy the way is fairly common problem with Flukes and about a 5 minute fix.

Details, please. My Fluke 88 comes apart about twice a year to fix dim or non-functioning LCD segments. I've been rubbing the contacts with a plain ol' pencil eraser to clean them. It works for awhile.

I have used Arctic silver. Works fine. Can't monitor temps like my computer but it works fine there also.

i've been using artic silver for 14ish years on ICMs. I seem to recall the guys on thirdgen.org using it

Thinking back when I converted my 93 Camaro back to a 93 GM ICM (undoing more PO f00k3ry) it came with a compound.

I used Arctic MX4 when I installed The AC Delco D1984A ICM ~5 years ago (Amazon says June 7, 2019) and haven't had to touch it since The ground is conducted through the mounting bolts so, remember a little goes a long way
