How to Crimp Your Own DIY Spark Plug Wires with MSD 8.5mm Wire Stripper - Crimper

[@billw.4378]

Just received a off brand crimper exactly like yours on eBay. Of course no instructions with it. Thanks for the video. Now I know how to use it correctly.

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

Great to hear!

Just got an msd wire set. Had no idea. They'd need to be crimped. Won't buy um again. Not because I can't do the job, but I've got better things to do. It's a standard v8 set, the length should be a non issue. Now I get to spend an hour on these stupid a** wires.... Thanks for the video. Helpful.

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

If you thought you were getting a complete set it totally sucks. On the bright side, you can customize those wires to length and what you use on the ends. I'm glad the video is helpful!

[@1997LT1Camaro]

If making wires is a problem, look for a specific set cut for your car. Its not that bad to do this. Much harder jobs to do on a car.

Great easy step to follow video. Thanks for sharing this will help me :)

Glad it was helpful!

CRC silicone spray works excellent for getting the boots on. Spray the wire and boot, they slide right on super easy. Much easier than dielectric grease.

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

Thats a great alternative! Thanks for the feedback!

[@Everything817]

Wow. All these messy fucking years.... Thank you sir..

[@RicardoDiaz-cp6ss]

Have you tried sliding the boot on before making the crimp? I wonder that would be easier. I have a small engine that needs a new end installed

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

I haven't but it certainly be worth trying. Use plenty of silicone grease and make sure the orientation of the boot is correct would be the two key things I would pay attention too.

Glad I could help!

Outstanding work on this Jose. I followed it to a tee and it's like you were there with me.

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

Great feedback, Thanks!

[@Mr334cobra]

So the exposed wire is not metal?? It looks like fiber??

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

MSD calls it a helically wound wire, it is a winding of a copper alloy conductor around a core. It is fibrous but it is also conductive.

Thanks! Great video

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

Thanks for watching!

[@chrisparrinello4192]

Is there a heavier boot for the coil wire versus the plug wire where it attaches to the distributor cap end ?

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

There's a variety of different boot that will fit the wire.

[@muhammadarsalan7996]

does any company supply an automated solution for it

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

I"m sure someone does but am not aware of any of the top of my head.

[@muhammadarsalan7996]

@@ExtremeDIYGuy any idea what should i search for it ?

[@pakcom-vl9kd]

what is the difference between spark plug wire and normal cable, thanks

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

the core material and shielding are different then normal cable/ I presume you are talking about RG6 coax? There are different specs for both and the materials used can vary considerably.

[@pakcom-vl9kd]

@@ExtremeDIYGuy Thank you

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

Thank you, my thoughts exactly!

[@briand6671]
