Clewitt wire "click"

I was putting the clewetts on today along with painting the fan and ran into some confusion. On the cylinders farthest into engine bay, more than the rest even though it was present everywhere, I didnt have a strong "click" when they were put on the plugs. They click when i pull them off however, is this normal? I could be over-doing it and being a bit OCD but if anything it was light click...the buru's that were on there took a lot of force to pull off too...these are easy.

As long as you're positive you've got it on the plug, I think you're ok. Sometimes you 'think' you got it on the plug, but you didn't.

BTDT... when I replace (first time) the Beru with Clewett Engineering High Performance Ignition Wires.

I had only one side plug in correctly It sounded/droved pretty bad.

Arrow

The plug ends on any wire can be adjusted slightly. Take a loose spark plug and check it in a different wire, does it click? Now take the same spark plug and put it in the wire in question, if it doesn't click then you can use some small pliers to adjust the wire end slightly until it clicks like you want it to. Often times if you are having a hard time finding the plug in the hole you can bend your wire ends causing them to widen, this will cause you to lose your click.
