[QUOTE="96blak54, post: 1511464, member: 14727"] Pull each plug wire and shove a sparkplug into the end. Make sure make sure each plug boot isnt so long its difficult to engage the boot terminal onto the sparkplug. I find many times inconsistency with plug wire boots being to long, requiring the boot to be shoved over the hex to snap onto the plugs terminal. This is to long and needs to be trimmed back. If the wire is a slip fit into the boot, simply push the wire into the boot more. Ive owned and worked on a bunch of different modulars over the years and this situation was always a problem. I also have a few sets of old wires including a set of Ford performance 8mm that i keep just because i have a hoarding problem, but they all have trimmed boots because the darn things wouldnt stay on the terminal. The extra boot length would push the terminal clip off the plugs terminal. Cause a bunch of headaches in the upper rpms The last set of wires i purchased were from Vatozone and to my surprise the wires would slip thru the boot. I didnt have to do any trimming on the boot ends. Just an idea. I hope you get it figured out. Spark issues suck. [/QUOTE]
