Wink Finally replaced my plugs...

Howdy!

Finally got around to changing my plugs. I want to reiterate that this is an all-day job. Do not try to get this done on a day when you may need the car. I spent 5-6 hours on this project. I thought it was going EASILY as I removed the old plugs. What I didn't get was that most of the time is spent putting the new ones in! Which was one the worst for me? I spent nearly an hour trying to get plug #6 to thread into the hole!

So glad it's done. And glad it will be a while before I need to do it again...

I guess I was lucky in one sense. I just leaned over the fender and screwed them in, but I had the manifolds off from doing the head gaskets! LoL

long tube headers makes the job so much easier

the right rachet makes a big difference. need the one with the head that flexes and has a little longer handle. takes me about an hour either way. theres two with the kooks headers that are the pits.
