Hot Rods Flathead plug wires

How do you connect the spark plug ends on these wires?
Do they have to be glued on or something ?


Thanks,

You need to strip and crimp.

 

I have the 90* ones on my car. Its been a while since I put them on, but I know the steel part unscrews. You put the wire into the plastic part, then screw the metal part in. IF I remember correctly you cut the wire straight on the ends without stripping the wire. The screw part just bites in if I remember. Oh, That was using solid core wires too.

 

Just found this. Did a search on RAJAH. I forgot about this.... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=530051&highlight=rajah

 

I just did this.
What you do is strip the wire back around a 3/8" or less. Then unscrew the barrel (black plastic) of the terminal off. Stick the stripped wire through the hole of the barrel and flare the individual strands of the wire out to the sides. Then just screw the metal part back in. make sure the metal part will screw in all the way and not get caught on the wire strands. If it does your exposed wire is too long.

What you’re doing is squishing the wire strands between the metal terminal part and the barrel. Give a slight tug on the wire to confirm that there is a good enough connection.

I hope that makes sense.

 

That worked, thanks.

 

Yes, it does, thanks.
