I have a 2000 Chevy S10 pickup 2.2 l for 4 cylinder engine with automatic transmission. I have a question about dielectric grease and wire length. I noticed the wires aren't all the same length in the kit or a group of four they come in. Does it matter if I mix up the lengths as long as the right cylinder is matched to the right coil port or does the length matter too in terms of how much voltage and current it will carry to a spark plug that's designed to have going to it? In other words just only one wire work with one cylinder or can it work with any cylinder? Also how much is too much dielectric grease that the voltage continuity will not work well? Is pea size too much and I just need to make a nice a glaze inside or do I need more than that to fully protect the boot?
I'm afraid I know nothing about snow chains period. Do you have antilock brakes for such weather?
You are referring to my signature. It has nothing to do with your question. Yes, I have ABS but is useless at speeds close to 0 when driving downhill. At least on my Auris.

It matters. Put each wire in it's proper place. If there's no instructions in your kit, then replace them one by one, matching length to your old wires.
Also how much is too much dielectric grease that the voltage continuity will not work well?
No matter how much grease you use, continuity cannot be affected. The high tension terminal will push the grease out of the way and make a reliable connection. I am very generous with the dielectric grease. You can't really use too much. I would go ahead and fill up the boot, and just wipe away whatever squeezes out.. It'll keep moisture out and make removal the next time much easier.
