Hi,

I did some 8mm heli-cores about 8 years ago, the kit came with a crimper 
that fits in the jaws of a bench vise... worked very well.

About the only problem with those wires was that the boots are REALLY LONG 
so you MUST use dielectric grease when you slide the boots onto the plugs 
or they will get stuck (near impossible to remove) or you can't get the 
connector to make tight contact with the plug.

I wound up cutting 1/2" or so off the boots to make installation a bit 
easier, but my situation is pretty much worst case as I frequently pull 
the entire ignition system to do "stuff" on the motor. On the plus side, 
removal installtion is less than 10 min.

:-)

There's no minus, I can have a new ignition system in that time. That 
ALWAYS works when there's a problem. Troubleshooting comes later when I 
have time to putter.
