Well, I had to do the coil two times to get it right, the coil boots are
harder rubber than the plug boots, but was not two bad, after the practice,
it was just a matter of making sure that connections were tight. The tool
that comes with the MSD kit is ok, but i had other crimpers that worked
better. This is a standard thing for universal kits, i think only Taylor
makes a custom set for the DAK according to another post i saw here, but
ill try anything once, so i bought the universal kit and have all MSD. You
just have to take your time and be patient. I did the hole ignition job,
Coil, 6AL, Wires With careful attention to detail, using wire loom and
friction tape on the ends. Of course i am very picky on how my truck
looks, so the extra time is worth it, but with eating and interuptions from
wife/kids i did on sunday and was done around 11pm, but like i said, i take
my time, and get interupted alot.
