We've got all of the ends for the coils crimped and ready to go. The only thing left is to slide over the rubber boot that slides over the coil. Any tips for getting this thing on?

 

You can use silicone grease or even WD-40 or Slick 50 spray. It wipes off when you are done. The boots will go on surprisingly easy. Good luck.

 

slick50 spray works well
but wd does work very well too.

Phil, make sure you crimped the wires GOOD. I used a vice crimp tool and it would not hold. Ended up using hand crimpers and pliers to get mine to crimp good.

Oh and use a pair of rubber/latex gloves, helps with not loosing grip when you lube the boot up.

 

Yeah WD-40 here.

The vise crimp that comes in the universal set sucks...badly. The MSD crimps are bad ***. Only problem is that they are a small fortune.

 

I used a set of flat nose pliers and then a crimp tool.
take the flat nose pliers and bend the "hook" on the "U" shaped thing (no idea what its called) down a little more, then put the wire in with the center folded back in and crimp....
