Help. I need to know if I did it right...

OK. I just got my Superchip, but that's not what this post is about. I just wanted to tell everyone.

The real question is this: I just installed a set of Jacobs plug wires. How do I know if I didn't push on onto the plug hard enough. I imagine the engine would sound very different if it was running on only 5 cylinders, or even worse on only 4 or 3. It sounds the same as before, and even seems to be idling a bit smoother. How can I check to make sure I got them all in OK. Thanks.

You should either be able to feel or hear them "snap" onto the plug. Thats how I tell.

I did feel it snap, I think.

I'm pretty sure I got all the wires seated well onto the plugs. My truck seems to be running much smoother now. I don't think I got too much power, but it's definitely smoother.

I'm sure I could tell if there was a loose plug, but it seems OK.
