I just bought a set of accel universal spark plug wires and it came with a set if crimping jaws, I was wandering, how does one go about using them? Because I dont have a crimper(and the last set of universal wires I made was with a wire stipper, they didnt come out bad, but I dont want to rig this set).

Read the instructions...either squeeze them together in a vise or even hit it with a hammer. I have done it both ways.

I also have use these methods.

The directions aren't very clear it just says to use accel wire clamps but you could also use the jaws which are a much cheaper alternative except you need toy use a vice with them.

How does the hammer method work?

Put the bottom half on the jaw on the ground...concrete...put the wire in and place the top jam on and hit it hard with a hammer...two people are best at that. If you have a vise put the bottom jaw and in the vise and repeat above procedure. One person is needed.

Cool, Thank you!

A-

You might find it easier if you put the bottom half in a metal vise so the "bumps" stop it from sliding down and then set the vise resting on a hard surface. Lay the wire and connector in the recess and hold the top half over the wire. Once lined up, hit the back of the top half with a hammer - good luck.
