As far as I know, the little tube of white gunk that comes with
ignition modules is indeed heat-transfer grease--the same stuff that's
used on CPU cooling fans.

For some reason, a lot of folks refer to it as die-electric grease,
which is silicon based, and has an entirely different purpose.

I bought a tube of heat sink grease at Radio Shack (about the only
usable thing that they currently sell). It was cheap and I have plenty
left over in case I ever need it.

Looks like you've got it figured out.
