Where can I get plug wire crimps?

I bought the taylor cut to fit wires...which are a PITA btw. Anyway...while trying to sleep the boots on sometimes the crimped end would come off due to how tight the boots are. I mean it has taken me more time on the wires than any other part of the entire engine setup. SO what im getting at is I ruined a couple crimps that I cannot salvage, the crimps that go from the wire to the optispark...and no one sells them by themselves. I don't want to pay a fortune for a whole new kit when all I need are a few crimps...

Anyone have any suggestions?

Call Taylor and see if maybe they can hook you up with some replacements. Sometimes they will do it for free.

anyone doing their own plug wires should invest in a GOOD set of crimpers, not the ones that come in a kit. I bought one of these from ACCEL and bought the dies for spark plug terminals and solderless connectors too. NO MORE plug wires pulling off!!! MSD or Taylor should be able to send you a few terminals if you tell them what happened.
