I don't believe we are talking about the same kink of plug ends for the wires.

The style of connector shown at this link has the high voltage connector buried deep inside [not like the simple rubber boot for normal wires]. There is no way to simply crimp them without extensive dissasembly - since this may be a manufacturing defect, I only want an exchange at this point [and since the mechanic was the 'customer' for the wires, I can't just take them back to AutoZone]

All the plugs on the engine just have the threads exposed on their tops - none of them have the adapter that 'normal' spark plug wires use.
