His labor at $100 is not bad. But his coil prices are high, so I think I'm going to DIY. They just pop in, it seems.

Do you guys use dielectric grease when you put in coils? Rubber on rubber?
Yes, I have always used it - both when I had standard coil/distributor/leads as well as 'coil on plug'. Just a little bit keeps things going in easy and (I think) when it comes time to do it again in the future - easy off too.

And yes, I'd do all 6. I would be sure to use all the same brand/PN of coil - if you break up who is doing what. And - I would also do the same with the plugs and connectors as well.
