You can remove the boot, repair the wire and reinstall the boot. If you
damaged the actual boot, you can temporarily cover the damaged area with
silicone (RTV). Best recommendation would be to replace the wire. Check
with the store that you got them from. Most of the time, they'll have a few
wires laying around in the back...see if they'll replace it for you. If the
wires that you have are still the original set, this may be a good time to
install a set of higher quality wires (MSD, Accel, Jacobs, Taylor, etc.)

Subject: DML: Spark Plug Problem
Well I ran into a little problem today while changing the plugs. I couldn't
find regular AutoLite 3923's, but I did find the regular platinum ones AP
3923. While changing the plugs, I must have messed up one of the boots,
cause I opened it up tonight and I could see it the spark through the boot.
So I am guessing I need to change this boot. Can I just get a new boot or
do I need to get a whole new set of wires? Also another question I had is,
my truck didn't really ping all that much with the stock Champion plugs in
it, but with these AutoLite's it is pinging like a mother. Maybe I
shouldn't even be running the platinums? I did get the stock AutoLite
replacement plugs and I may just put those back in, or maybe I should also
install the 180 t-stat I got and see if that helps. Any suggestions? thanks
in advance.
