Ignition wire crimpers?

[y5mgisi]

I have come to the conclusion that i need to make myself up a custom st of spark plug wires to work well and be tidy with the headers on my 350. Can anyone recommend me a good set of the crimpers required to do the job? Searched summit and either im retarded or they are in a different category.

MSD makes some good stuff. You might want to check out their crimper pliers. MSD part # 35051

I know Nappa sells them in there Beldon line .Also they can order wires by length if you know the size you need .

DON'T buy the yellow handled stamped looking Accel jobs from Oreilly's etc. They are a door stop now. The MSD's are undoubtedly nice, but spendy. MSD makes a little phenolic/ metal crimper that you use in a vice. Its about an 1 1/2"?? thick and works nicely. I didnt have a vice so some 460 channel locks worked great.

x2 on the MSD stuff. I've got a pair and love them. If you ever plan to build more than one set of wires, you will money/time ahead by getting a quallity pair or crimpers.

Perfect! The MSD ones are just what I'm after!

The MSD crimper also has changeable jaws and there are also different jaws available for doing other things as well.

As nice as crimpers would be, I did it with a pair of pliers.

Now I'll know where to go next time I do wires.

You mean like weather pack conecter ends? That would be nice!

 

[dyeager535]

Yep, did those too with pliers. The depinning tool made life easy, but the crimping wasn't that hard. Besides, I soldered them afterwards for good measure.

 

[y5mgisi]

Dope. I'm going to order me up a set of those and a set of cut to length wires too!

The MSDs didn't work for me on Taylor 409s. But a smaller wire should work just fine.
