tune up questions 5.0

[stangone50]

whats up fellas .. just some basic tune up questions .. i just purchased a full msd set up (cap,rotor, wires and coil with autolite plugs ...
im wondering with the msd wires -the spark plug boots .. anyone know if they are bendable so i can bend them away from the headers ????
also does anyone use any type of dielectric grease on their cap studs and spark plugs or not ??? what is recomended ?? any other tips would be appreciated .. thanks alot guys .......

Yes, the boots are bendable. The only problem you might come across is that the MSD wires are a little short, so you might have the bend the boots a certain way to make the wires reach the distributor.

i use dielectric grease on both ends of my wires (cap and plugs)

You can also but insulation boots that slide over the spark plus boots. They come in several colors and dont look that bad. A friend of mine has them on his S&H Torino..
