spark plug question
I just bought a '94 camaro v6 convertible, and I want to change out the spark plugs. What will be the easiest way to get to the plugs in the back?
and is there a plug you all recommend me buying?
I'm not used to camaros, my other car is a mustang.

I thought 3.4 l were recommended only platinum plugs? Well that's I heard anyway. Not sure why

During my 3.4 rebuild I installed the factory plug, the AC Delco R43TSK. That's what was installed when I bought the car and the plugs were so worn I couldn't believe the engine still ran. Over 0.080" gap! Good enough for me...

Ah, you noticed that!
Well *5* of the 6 plugs in the car at purchase were old AC Delcos. The 6th plug, the one in cylinder 5, was a Mighty brand plug (who really makes those, anyway?) installed by a garage that was diagnosing the dead miss problem for the PO. The dead miss that turned out to be a massively blown head gasket.
That Mightly plug had about 50 miles on it when I tore the engine down, hence the almost new center electrode.
