Returned that set and got a set of MSD street fire wires.

Turns out 3 of these wires won't fire (not the same 3), I go to pull the end off the plug and the the dam end stays on the plug and the wire is up in the boot. I'm trying to push the wire out the end of the boot (to recrimp) and they won't come out. It's like the boot is glued on?

My old jegs wires (cut to length ) lasted 5 years before 2 fell out the clip and hit the header...

Dammit I guess making your own wires is the only way to get good ones????

What gives, are the street fire wires glued to the boot?

I realy expected more from MSD....

Try pulling the wire back out of the boot from the input side, don't try to push it through. Re-crimp the terminal on, and then spray terminal and inside of boot with silicone spray. I use a small, long flat blade screwdriver, if needed, to push on terminal to get it back into boot to proper depth. Then coat inside plug end of boot with plenty of dielectric grease to help from having same problem again.
