Assistance would be greatly appreciated ...
Picked up the Dyna Coils (DC2-1's) today. Ordered NGK race wires and semi-angled spark plug caps. Friggen wires didn't have anything on the end that will connect to the coil. The parts guy called NGK for verification and the only advice they had was to stop at NAPA and pick up some boots. Found some boots and connectors that snap perfectly into the dnya coils.
So .... Looking at the pictures, can anyone tell me the proper way to attach the connector to the wire? Should I strip any of the red housing or white insulation off? Should any wire be exposed inside the connector? Is soldering advised? It looks like it will be impossible to get the wire into this connector without shaving this down a bit - especially at the point where I put a blue arrow in the first picture. It's also fairly obvious that the point where the blue arrow is at is intended to be a bend point inside the angled boot.
I searched high and low on the internet and only found one vague DIY wire narrative that did strongly suggest using some dielectric grease when making your own wires to keep out air, dirt, grease, corrosion, etc. and to promote electric flow. Thoughts on that perhaps too?
