Cut to length spark plug wires

I finally started installing my MSD cut to length plug wires.

It is a real bear getting the boot on after crimping the terminal onto the wire.

So far, the best way I have found to get them on is to put a little saliva on the terminal before shoving it into the boot.

What other tricks do you guys use?

the kit may have come with dielectric grease, but it sat in my trunk for 2-3 years, and the box had fallen apart. i will go to autozone and get some grease.

when i was trying to put them in dry, i could just barely get the wire in, so putting the boot on and then crimping was a no-starter for me. now that i have a strategy for being able to get the boot on more easily, i will try that route again.

on the plus side, i don't think i'll ever go back to pre-made plug wires ever again. i love the way you can make these exactly the length you want.
