Wires: look at the mag cap and make sure the holes are quite clean and shiny. Put the plugs in the head (if it is now on the tractor (if not, postpone this task till it is) put the wires on the plugs, and mark each with a permanent marker with one, two, three four. Take the wire from #1 and position it to make a relaxed, but efficient path to the hole it will go into. Mark the wire at that spot for length, but do not cut. Do the same for all 4 wires. Next add 1" to each length to assure proper assembly, then cut at that point. use wire strippers to cut 1/2" of insulation off the wires, include cutting off the strings and frizzies, they are to keep stretch to a minimum. (a wire crimping tool with a plug wire terminal crimping slot is needed now. It looks like a pair of mismatched "C" shaped grooves in the crimping area of the pliers. Put a rubber boot onto the wire (bell facing away from the plug end) Place one of the brass connectors over the end catching the bare wire and forcing it back over the insulation. (this makes the contact from wire to terminal) The insulation should extend into the terminal about 1/2 of its length. It should appear to go in to the end of the circular area, and not into the springy clip area. Crimp the circular area so that the edges of the edges are crimped in and deform the the insulation to keep it from comming off. Push each wire into the proper hole, and then push in the boot over the hole's tower. If this makes no sense, lets discuss it some more. JimN
