Spark Plug Boot Guards -- Won't fit MSD?
Hey guys,
I recently wound up buying two sets of spark plug boot guards for my T/A. The only problem is, I can't get them to fit over my MSD spark plug sires. One set is the mesh with the steel ring and the other set is the reflective cloth. Both are supposed to fit over the wires where the boot plugs into the spark plug but I can't get them to fit. I know I've seen them on cars but for the life of me I can't figure out how to install them!
Any help would be appreciated.

Are the MSD wire boots hard? ( as in not flexible?)
My Accel 300 wires have flexible rubber boots and I maneuvered the plug wire through the guards by sticking a screwdriver through the guard into the plug boot and steering wire back through
The 90 degree plug boot flattered out to like 120 with the screwdriver in the end so it went through easy

Pull the boot off, slip wire through sleeve and reinstall boot.

How about photo(s) or a part number/link so we can see what we're dealing with?
