Installation Instructions
ACCEL’s Wire Crimper Tool (#170040) will work with HEI and points style
terminals. The ACCEL Crimper will also help correctly strip to expose the
core of 7mm and 8mm ACCEL wire.
1. Start with the longest plug wire and replace each wire one at a time.
2. For Points style terminals, slide the distributor boot over the wire before
terminating. HEI style terminals are installed after the terminal is com-
pleted.
3. Utilizing the 7mm or 8mm holes on the ACCEL Wire Crimper, slide the
wire though the hole with the end flush.
4. Holding a razor blade across the guide, rotate the wire and cut the cir-
cumference of the insulation. Be careful not to nick, cut or split the core.
The exposed core should be 5/8”.
5. Fold the core over the wire. Insert the wire into the terminal and position
the wire’s silicone insulation 1/8” past the terminal’s crimping tabs.
6. Slightly bend the terminal tabs over with pliers. DO NOT OVER CRIMP.
This step is intended to secure the wire and terminal together and
prepare for final crimping.
7. Place the open end of the terminal facing the “W” in the crimper tool.
8. Assemble the crimp tool and place the alignment tabs into the jaws of
the vise. Slowly close the vise, paying attention to the alignment of the
terminal.
9. Once the terminal is closed around the wire, stop applying pressure. DO
NOT OVER CRIMP. It is possible to over crimp the terminal and tear the
silicone wire sleeve.
10. Remove the vise pressure and inspect the newly crimped terminal.
11. For points style terminals: slide the boot onto the terminal.
12. For HEI style boots: lightly lubricate the terminal with dielectric grease
and slide the wire into the HEI boot.
