Plug Wire crimping
In all my engine work over the years I have neve NEEDED to make up a set of plug wires until this week.
With the right tool, it went pretty smoothly. I could not find my standby pliers-like crimper that claims to be able to do plug wires.
It was like this:

A friend bought the Taylor wire set... and a vice-based "B" cavity crimper tool like
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Accel-170040...511daf&vxp=mtr
It worked really well, has a trimming part for 7 or 8mm wires to get the core length right. Made real nice well-set crimps. The plug wires fit RIGHT after proper cutting. Yay!
I ordered this ratcheting crimper to do this job for the next time I need to.
