Just installed BHR ignition kit

Spent about 4 hours in total installing it, took my sweet time cleaning up everything that I removed to get to the coils. It was really tough to screw those 4 bolts back on, they are right under the coil end of the plug wires. I still have some issues though:

1. Is the MSD plug wires supposed to cover the whole spark plug (not leaving the white part visible)? I got the "click' when I attach wires to the plugs but im still seeing white.

2. The engine hoist hook. If i were to remove it completely, do I simply re-tighten the bolts all the way in or should i use some washers to get the same thickness as the hoist hook.

The wire boot won't cover the entire insulator.
If you got the "click", then you should be good.
You can give it a light tug to see if it slips off the plug, but you're probably fine.

Keep the hoist off until you actually need it.
Then screw the bolts back in... no need for washers.

I didnt order the BHR ignition kit but i just put on my new BHR wires to fit OEM coils, and it also shows some of the white, but it drives perfect.
So im assuming it wont cause a problem? and thats the way it was supposed to be.
