strip wire back trim it up, take terminal end and uncrimp if you can, fold core of wire back against cover insert into terminal and recrimp. put boot on first (lube with some soapy water). thats how Id do it

Yeah, its not too hard to fix.

Check your plug wires to see if they might be burned while they're off

Bad wires and cap had been costing me MPG and perf. for a while before I noticed 2 of the wires were bad and bought a MSD 8.5mm super conductor set

BTW: your headline reminds me of a list i read in Car Craft or some mag, things like

If there are 2 part numbers whichever you buy will be the wrong one

If it can break you'll break it

If it can't break you'll break it anyway

No matter how cheap it was, your friend got his cheaper somewhere else

...man work is boring. Maybe I should actually do something
