this is my first time ever changing spark plugs on the camaro. but when i try to put the new msd wires on they dont want to "pop" on. Does anyone know of a trick or an easy way to get them on? thanks!

If you haven't already try taking off the coil packs to get more leverage. Then when you get the wires over the plugs you can put the coil packs back on and hook up the other end of the plug.
This is how I did mine but I was checking the nuts on my header studs so I already had the coil packs off.

Some of the boots on my MSDs were not on completely. Check to see if the wire connector is at the top of the boot. If not pull the boot down until the connector is about 1/4 inch from the top.

I had fun getting myn on I remember I had my whole body in the engine bay with my arm bent in 20 different positions.. But I got it... you'll get it eventually.. If your having a hard time take a 5minute break.
