Today I bought a set of Accel Super Sport 8mm wires for my 84 2.8. Well, some dumbass thought it would be nice if I had to cut and crimp the distributor end myself, my problem is...I can't figure out exactly what i've gotta do. It's hard as hell to get the wires through the boot, much less be able to put a connector on there and pull it back IN to the boot.

Anybody wanna help me out here?

 

or you could just return them and get a set of wires that are pre cut for your specific car

 

Put the wire without the metal terminal through the boot......THEN crimp the terminal on, then pull the wire back through the boot until the terminal is inside the boot. Do yourself a favor, get some silicine spray, it helps lube the wire / boot and makes it much easier to work with.

i crimp the ends on first the use a screw driver on the end of the terminal to push it thru the boot, after it's in enough to grap with needle nose plires i pull it out with the plires.

 

A little dielectric grease (that clear silicone kind) on the ends of the wires makes it much easier.
