One of the biggest suggestions with the shielded wires is you do not have to torque them down to infinity. Hand tight and a slight turn with the wrench will suffice to make them waterproof. I always see a problem where guys torque them down, and when you go to remove them, the spark plug turns instead. Then you have to remove the wire at the distributor (pretty tight spot there) and remove the wire with the plug.
Speaking of the tight spot, we were issued with a crowfoot socket or the special wrench for those wires. If you pick up the special wrench, it will allow more than the required torque needed.
