Spark plug wire keeps popping out. Need help!
My 8.5mm MSD spark plug wire in the 4th chamber of my head keeps popping out. I tried tightening the spark plug but it still pops out here and there. I am running NGK platinum with stock specs.
Any suggestions or comments about this?

MSD and Magnecor both have been known to have fitment issues, more likely with the latter.
My suggestion? Pull them off, sell them and buy a set of NGKs or new OEM wires.

Make sure your plugs are tight, and also check for water under the wires, sometimes when you spray the engine down, water will get under there, and boil as the car gets hotter, making your plugs pop off. Otherwise, its just the wires. Ive had the same pair of MSD wires on two of my cars, and theyre still fine.

I agree. As a last resort try taking some needle nose pliers and bending the connectors.
