Spark plug sleeves to small So I ordered some JEGs spark plug sleeves to throw on my MSD wires but they are to tight, there is a little washer in there or something. Has anyone else had this issue?

I'd throw them away or return them for a refund. No reason to use sleeves on anything plug wire related if they are routed correctly. Do you have some boots that are too close to the exhaust? If so, which ones?

I called up JEG's and they said they don't fit MSD or Taylor wires. The only reason I got them was for a cheap insurance policy since I have burned a few wires in the past. I will be routing them this weekend.

As long as there's a gap between exhaust and boots/wires you'll be fine. It's when things come into contact you start burning wires. Putting sleeves on leaves less space for the wire path and more chances of coming into contact. Do you still have the stamped rails bolted to the side of the block? Makes routing wires far easier than if they weren't there.
