[OLD AS I]

OK, there's gotta be a secret to assemble one of these systems. Got the distributor rebuilt by Bubba, now to assemble it, using the 2 piece cap, inner and outer caps with the clips and bail wire.
I mounted distributor on engine (engine in stand no rad in the way), have wires inst'd in inner cap, checked for good contacts, tried pushing wires through outer cap one side ............. there's gotta be a better way, how on earth did Henry do this, well guess Henry didn't do it but his guys did ???? Need step by step method, anyone with experience on this, using wire set from Bob Drake, brown coated wire set, wanting to keep original with rubber sleeve out of outer cap then up to metal conduit that wires come out and clip on plugs, perhaps I should be using rubber plug wires, more flexible, ??????, any help or suggestions would be appreciated, already skinned some of the brown coating off one of the wires pulling through outer cap.
