I have a set of month old Jacobs Universal fit 8.5 mm wires. When I installed them I had been in a big hurry, so I got the length close, but not quite right. A couple of weeks ago I purchased additional distributor plug ends, MSD heat shrink tubing and Moroso heat shrink plug wire numbers.
I put all of this together and was quite happy with the results until I was under the hood today. :mad: I noticed every one of the shrink tubes at the plug end of the wires have shrunk to the point where they slid off of the fat female part of the plug wire to where they are only covering the wire itself. :confused:
Anyone have any experience with this phenomena? How do you get the tubes to stay put? I used a heat gun to originally heat the tubing to where half of the tube was covering the wire and half was covering the fat plug wire end. Additionally, I shrunk the numbers to overlap with the tubing, too.
