9 - Terminal Insert Guides

This Universal Wire set gives you the choice of using a 90° or straight/Multi-Angle boot and
terminal on the spark plug to accommodate for the header variances. Once you have determined
the style boots to use, you can cut the new wires to length then install the correct supplied coil
terminal and boot. A Mini-Stripper-Crimper Tool is supplied to help you achieve a strong, factory
type crimp.

Tools Required:

Razor Blade
Vise (4" Minimum)
Needlenose Pliers

Optional:

PN 35051 Pro Crimp Tool

Figure 1 Choosing the Spark Plug Boots and Terminals.

1. Once you’ve determined wire length and spark plug
boot to use, position the wire in the corresponding strip
guide of the strip tool.

2. There are two stripping positions on the stripping slot,
when installing the LS1 terminal it will require you to strip
the wire at standard terminal length (Figure 2).

3. Remove the wire and twist the cut sleeve off in a coun­terclockwise direction.

4. To achieve the strongest crimp possible, it is required
to bend the crimp tabs over about 90° using needle
nose pliers. Figure 3 shows an example.

Figure 3 Stripping the Sleeve.

5. Bend the conductor back along the wire insulation.
Slide the wire into the terminal with the conductor
positioned so it is in contact with the bottom of
the terminal (Figure 4). Push the wire through until
the sleeve protrudes about 1/8” beyond the crimp
tabs.

Figure 4 Preparing the Terminals.

6. Position the wire and terminal into the “W” groove
side of the Mini-Stripper-Crimper. Align the crimp
tabs so they are exactly centered on the tip of the
crimp die (Figure 5).

7. Slide the other part of the Mini-Stripper-Crimper over
the wire terminal and lightly press them together.

8. Put the assembly into a vise making sure the align­ment tabs are on the outside edge of the vise jaws
(Figure 6).

9. Slowly close the vise making sure the tool and
terminal stay properly positioned and aligned
(Figure 6). Stop applying pressure when the
terminal ends have wrapped securely around the
sleeve and grip the wire.
