cutting OTVC universal wires

I did a search, found nothing. I just need to know how to install the cut part of the wire into the terminal end. Do I just shove the actual inner wire into the little tab or what? Stupid question, I know. Any pics?? Taylor says it's easy, yet they show no illustrations! I need illustrations!

My MSD wires came with a aluminum block that you slide a razor blade in. You twist the wire around inside and the perfect amount of insulation comes off.

You then bend BACK the black electrode in the middle of the wire so it touches the insulation and put it between the long metal face of the metal contact. The aluminum block is used with a c-clamp to crush both pieces together.

MSD has a great tool and instructions to walk you through.

You'll have a hard time messing this up if you follow the instructions.

ALSO... when you slide the completed assemply into the boot, put a tiny dab of electrolytic grease on the back face of the metal so that it slides into the boot easily.

You just fold it back and crimp it between the U shapped end of the connector and the rubber jacket. You'll want about 3/4 of an inch of wire stripped.
