I'm installing AccelTerminals and boots.  I have done it before  with
no special tools. Heck after my shop  go broke  in  to, I had to do a  wire
set. I ended  up using my pocket knife to strip   the wire, and a regular
pair of pliers to do  the  crimps. I  still  have not  purchased another
stamping crimpier, which works  via  dies, and  a hammer blow.   I always
test my  crimp, and test  with my   boot installed.  I have had to redo a
few   before. Yet no  matter  who did  the crimping,  or  whose  wires  I
were installing I   always check  them.

   Cheep wires are known for bad insulation, not  a proper  fit, and
terminals that stay on the spark plugs. I have even  had problems with
AC-Delco/Packard wire replacement sets. Which first lead me to use Accel
wires.

   Accel 8MM  wires always worked well for  me on  older cars. Especially
where I wanted  to tuck a wire  to keep it  off of something.  I have used
them  on every  thing from  Chevettes to Big Block powered drag cars.

   I first stepped up to their 8.8's  when I could  not  get a regular  8MM
set with mixed straight and angle boots.  While  I stood at the counter
looking at someone play  with an  Accel  veri-boot (variable angle). Nice
thick   plug boot. Looked pretty heat resistant. So  I forked  over about
twice the cost  and  bought  one  set. Kept  a check  on them. After   6
months I had no boot  burn thru (a problem  on that particular vehicle, no
matter who's wires were on it  before), yet some  slight damage.  Which a
set of heat sleeves cured from getting  to any where  near needing
replacement. That set up plug wires lasted 120,000 miles on that vehicle
until  the  owner scrapped it. I still have the wires, which I'm going to
reuse as they were  free to me, and  still good.

   I like  the 8.8MM wires better because they are more ridged. They also
have thicker insulation, which means even if the  other jacket gets nicked
(it happens),  less  chance of arc out.

   I  also  use  Accel  Ignition parts when  available. I have always had
good luck with   them as well.  The one  time I didn't, it was a coil  screw
that split the cap as  the  coil  was  being   installed. I went back and
exchanged  it.  Other  then that  I  have ran them  for  over 50,000 miles
with nothing more  then a  contact clean  up on distributor cap terminals.
