Epp,
Holley sends a Permatex Silicone Lubricant along with their fuel 
injection kits and tells you to use it on every connection. I thought it 
was strange to send something that wasn't specifically lableled for 
wiring, but it seems to do a really good job. It would work well on the 
starter connections because of being a silicone base rather than 
petroleum based, and I assume resistant to hear. I bought a bigger 
container and now use it on plug wires, plug boots, and anything else I 
run across. 
That's not only all I know, it's more than I know.
