after you slide them on and they lock, tighten a zip-strip around the rubber boot onto the shank of the dizzy. Engine vibration can loosen those style of wire connections, zip strips are always a good idea!

If he spreads the prong a bit they will 'snap' when put into the dizzy, and zip ties wont be nessasary at all. I would be afraid that they would melt. I use aip ties on body/ non engine areas...
