This is from me personally so there should be no discrepancies on copyright crap, I'm posting it over here so others can have the info, also there were some questions on wire recommendations and what not........so here it is.
I hadn't seen any instructional write-ups on this, I've seen'em for sale as "custom" and I've seen "custom msd" for sale as well, but they're just a precut lenght with the SOHC plug boots on'em, nothin like stock, so while I was changin plugs, I pulled apart the stocks to see if it were possible to make MSDs that fit like stock and this is what I came up with...
Previous wires were Beck/Arnley so there may be variances
Things you'll need:
MSD GM Custom kit (Kit includes a crimper, the orange tool I used, and 8 plug wires that you cut to desired length and various ends/boots etc...)
GOOD Wire cutters
Grease
Vise or Clamp to crimp ends
New Razor Blade
Here's what I started with:
You'll wanna cut off the end so it slides through the boot easier while dissasembling.
There's a rubber boot at the end, removing it will make it easier to see how far you'll need the end to be so you can have the proper fit on the spark plug.
Take note:
Pull the plastic extension piece off, just pull hard, it'll pop off.
Then pull the wire out of the remaining piece, leaving you with these parts.
Now on to the MSDs
Using a nice new razor blade cut the ghey boot off carefully, you don't want to cut into the wire itself, just get the boot off.
Now the hard part, gettin the wire through the 90* boot. You need the tool that's in the MSD kit and some dielectric grease...like I have!
