You probably cracked one while installing them. Take them out one at a time, inspect and re-gap each, replace broken ones. NGK TR6 is fine @ 0.035.

My guess would be a wire off (or as said above cracked during installation). If you don't hear a distinct click try again. I had a lot of problems with MSD wires and switched to GM LS7 wires because I couldn't get them on very good after my hand injury last year. I had a lot of misfire issues as a result. The GM's seem to go on better and definitely "click".

I have found quite a few bad plugs lately they have had no cracks or visual defects but have had weak to no spark at all.
