Default plug wires

So I have new electronic ignition that came
With new suppression core wires. So once I strip
The insulation to get to the wire in the center do
Do I need to strip that wire or just fold it over and
Put the end on? What happens if I already stripped that
Wire will it still work ? Because that's what I did for some
Reason and could see that its just fibers not a metal in
Core. Guess I should have asked before I
Went to work with the strippers !

Thanks
T-Ron
