How to best install my new Taylor Spiro-pr universal wire ends??  I have a crimping tool for spark plug wires. I have the 8mm wires with both hei and point type. My idea is to get the wire length plus enough to strip off about 3/4 in of the insulation, do I then just tuck the inner wire under the insulation to be in contact with the metal clip and crimp. Put silicone grease on first so it will allow the wire to slip on to the boot and back into the boot when complete. Thanks in advance for the advice E dke6bnl

I find it easier to put the boot on first, then strip it back for the terminal. Then I fold the core back over the insulation, and  crimp the terminal on. I have a good spark plug wire crimper, and it is well worth it to get one. I also put some silicone grease inside the boot before I install the wire.
Welcome to hell. Here's your accordion.
