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.
Great to hear!
Great easy step to follow video. Thanks for sharing this will help me :)
Glad it was helpful!
Didn't have any lubricants around, but I found out vegetable oil works great! Thanks for the vid
No problem glad you enjoyed it!
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.
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!
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.
Awesome just learned about this cool video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks so much , I was able to get this down today.
Glad I could help!
Thanks! Great video
Thanks for watching!
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.
Thats a great alternative! Thanks for the feedback!
Wow. All these messy fucking years.... Thank you sir..
Outstanding work on this Jose. I followed it to a tee and it's like you were there with me.
Great feedback, Thanks!
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
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.
My msd tool came in my set of wires.
Nice one less expense!
Is there a heavier boot for the coil wire versus the plug wire where it attaches to the distributor cap end ?
There's a variety of different boot that will fit the wire.
So the exposed wire is not metal?? It looks like fiber??
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.
what is the difference between spark plug wire and normal cable, thanks
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.
@@ExtremeDIYGuy Thank you
@@pakcom-vl9kd Your Welcome!
does any company supply an automated solution for it
I"m sure someone does but am not aware of any of the top of my head.
@@ExtremeDIYGuy any idea what should i search for it ?
Why not leave constructive feedback if you don't like the video?!?
Thank you, my thoughts exactly!
What's not to like? People just gotta crap on stuff 'cuz they can
