I ran into the exact same problem this weekend with my new MSD 8.5 wires. I crimped then a little at first and they were still a little loose.{little irratated that this expensive "performacne wires" fit so poorly. After I saw that they were still loose I really worked them over with a pair of pliers crimping the tips pretty good. After I put them on there were as snug as the factory wires fit and have showed no signs of lossening after 100 miles of driving.
Hope the helps
