yep you're right! I tried it out today, and it was really hard to use the iron to fill up the connection. I ended up creating so much melted solder that I had to sand it down with a dremel. I guess I should have taken the guy's suggestion. I already had some good solder from Radio Shack lying around. Tommorrow I'll get the butane torch and dielectric grease, and I'll see about the heat shrink
However I really need to seal the gap between the clear wire cover and the ring connector, and all I can think of is heat shrink. Thanks for the info though!
BTW, where should I get all of the bolts needed to attach the ground wires to certain unused threaded holes on the engine block and head? I already know that one of the bolts that I need is the same one that holds the plastic bit that organizes the spark plug wires on the head. They fit here:
