Default Installing ICM ignitor no spark

My 93 accord broke down last week. It just died at an intersection when I was at a red light in the turning lane. It just cut off and wouldn't start. I pushed it into a parking lot and then we towed it home later in the week. Once I got a chance to open it up, I checked for spark and had nothing. The cap, rotor, and wires were all new, and I was using an internal coil from a prelude dist. inside my accord's distributor. I thought it might have been that "JDM" coil, but when I took the coil to the store it tested within range. I then remembered reading that the ICM goes out on our cars, so I paid 56 bucks for a new one of those. It came with a tube of silicone grease. I didn't know what the grease was for, so I just installed the part and the car fired up. It was exactly like

(great post, btw)

My question is what to do with that grease... do I need it somewhere? Is it for the dizzy, or was I supposed to lube up this ICM thing?
