Question Help! Assembling Mopar 8mm Plug Wires

Hey, I just received Mopar 8mm spark plug wires for my '68 Road Runner.

The thing is, the end that connects to the distributor is not assembled. Some of the wires are exposed and some are not.

Does anyone know how to assemble the ends to these wires? They appear to be cut to length already.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Did you get the crimpler plates with the wire if so you can put one end in the vise and use the other one with a hammer to crimple the connector.Slide the rubber boot on the wire remove 1/2" or so of insulation fold back the expose wire on the insulation put the connector and crimple.

Default instructions?

.....i know, i know. do-it-yourselfer's don't like that word, BUT....maybe it'll be worth lookin at the instructions. I did when i put 8mm. accel wires on mine...it saved a lot of time, sore fingers, and electrical tape!

Thanks for the tips.

NO instructions were included. Trust me, I would have followed them to a "t."
