[Tigers] Was how to remove spark plugs - now plug wires

[Sandy]

Jay -

I don't know if the MSD wires are the same as the Taylor wires I have 
used.  I run Taylor 409 10.4mm with good results, and  ran into the same 
problem until I realized that I was not cranking them hard enough on a 
few of the plugs. I found that the plugs with hard to reach access were 
difficult to get the 'final click' but after relaxing the muscles and 
giving them another go they all make a solid click. Try an easy one to 
see if you have it really all the way pushed on.
