Unhappy Help! OTVC wire problem and Plugs smell like oil and fuel.

I just bought some really nice pre-made OTVC wires from elite and I am having a hard time putting them on. Is it possible to install these on stock maifolds? Please say yes~!!!

Also, I pulled my old plugs (drivers side only so far) and all 4 were black, black, BLACK... smelled of oil and fuel and were kind of wet/damp. I had a HORRIBLE misfire and felt as if I was literally running on 3 cylinders. That is why I'm installing new plugs and wires... I'll get a pic up soon of the plug.

Previous to the misfire trouble/history: Rebuilt motor with new block, had the car running and adjusted the valves with the car on. Had a fuel leak, replaced injectors, regulator and fuel rail. Car still starts hard as if there is a leak and running worse than it did the first time I fired it up after the rebuild.

I've never heard anyone use OTVC wires on stock manifolds, as the manifolds are turned up......

otvc wires are more meant for headers. May have a hard time routing them with stock manifolds... I could be wrong though.
