sorry i quoted you. prolly was a lil hazy.
msd wires. they just dont clip on like they used to.
is this normal with an ls plug wire design.
my old small block stuff with 90 degree boots i could change plugs 100 times and they just clip back on very firm.
the msd's dont seem to feel like that.
i know you do custom wires. can you do them with a 90 degree on the plug side? im not even sure if it will clear the header flange though.
would be nice, IMO.
i know the taylors have ends with 90's, but they are a different type of boot than what msd uses.

Yes I can do the 90* boots, I've done a few sets for LS1's.
What happens with the long gray multi-angle boot though sometimes is it slides on the electrode. You might just need to push the electrode back in the the boot further.
When I make mine I push them down further than factory so they will clip on easier. But the boot does slide on the electrode, its not part of how the wire is held together so it can and will move. Grab the boot in your left and and push on the base of the wire close to the boot with your right hand to move the electrode out the other end toward the plug. Basically stuff the wire back in the boot.

i put a fresh set of plugs in the motor today and was thinking it would be very tight with the header flange as i mentioned earlier.
