Trouble installing plug wires onto spark plugs

[Pablo M]

I’m installing the plug wires today and the attachment point inside the boot is smaller than the spark plug head. They won’t fit at all. Did I get the right wires? I saw in another thread, when I searched, that some had this issue with Bosch, where they had to remove the screw on spark plug tip to fit them. 
These aren’t marked Kingsborne at all, and the coil wire says Bremi, but I had ordered Kingsborne so not sure that’s an issue. 

Am I doing something wrong? 

 

 

 

 

I feel like such an idiot when I’m flummoxed by seemingly simple tasks.

The little barrel on the end should unscrew, they should fit then

One of the first things that threw me for a loop. The tip needs to be unscrewed from the spark plug to work in the spark plug wires typically sold for these cars. If your tip doesn't unscrew then the plug is the wrong part number. BP6ES plugs with solid tips that *don't* unscrew do exist. Ask me how I know...

 

And your sparkplug wires don't look like the Kingsborne wires I have. Doublecheck your receipt.

Unscrew the top of the spark plug.

I was today years old when I first learned about using spark plugs without the tip...

Thanks.

 

 

 

Popovm, I checked their site and mine looks like this. So I think I got the right ones. 

Thanks.

I may or may not have ripped the tip off of a non-screw off BP6ES because I assumed they all had screw off tips... Everyone's gotta learn sometime, I guess!

 

That's good to hear about your wires. They must be using Bremi ends now. That top of the package with the lightening bolts looked familiar but I wasn't sure.
