Point of clarification: Did I miss where he said he put anti-seize on the plugs?

I see this:

I replaced the four cheap copper spark plugs ... slimed them with some dielectric grease and put em back on.
... but as long as he's talking about the outside of the engine, that doesn't conflict with that.

You definitely should not put anti-seize on the threads. Dielectric around the wires is definitely a thing I've done before and had positive results from. (SN95 / New EdgeMustangs have a stupid rear end near-vertical hole for spark plugs that fills with water because the plugs never actually seal it.)

That said, it sounds like OP threw dielectric grease in the plug wire boots, which is something you should do. Helps keep valve cover leaks from causing misfires, also keeps the boots from getting stuck to the plugs.
Yeah, this!
