Longest plug wires?
I bought bulk MSD 34013 8.5mm wire (25ft), MSD 3304 coil ends and MSD 3301 dual crimp "F" style bendtable terminals at the plugs. I used an MSD 3508 spark plug crimping dies in a Greenlee/Paladin PA8000 crimper. You can also use the MSD crimpers or a Harbor Freight 97420 crimper with those MSD dies OR you can use the cheap vise dies that you hammer to form the ends.
Below is the coil terminal MSD 3404

Below is a photo of the MSD crimping/stripping dies 3508 (right) inside of a HF 97420 crimper body. The HF crimper body is pretty crappy but it is less expensive. The vice style dies (left) will also work just fine and they are cheap, but they aren't as quick and require you do the stripping with a utility knife. I have done a few sets of plug wires with them in the past and never had any problems.
FYI I found that the Tayler 46069 coil terminals are too small for 8.5mm wire. Here is a photo showing how poorly they fit (top left). They would probably be fine if you use Taylor 8mm wire. The Taylor stuff is a bit cheaper than the MSD stuff.

happen to know how long your wires are? My drivers side coils are under my radiator area.

Are MSD 3304 supposed to double click when installing on the coil packs? I have the terminal sitting flush with the end of the 3304 boot and I’m not hearing a double click when installing.
Just a single click I think. That's how mine are installed anyway. I remember having a hard time figuring out the required terminal position in the boot. If I recall correctly it should be basically flush with the end of the boot.
