Default Let me just say...

Changing spark plugs/wires on a 94 z28 is an absolute nightmare...

Drivers side went amazing.. then got to the first plug on passenger side and had to take the alternator off, I have really big hands and can't seem to find a way to get these damn things off..

Any of you guys have tips/tricks to doing this ****?

grab a buddy with skinny arms. i got all mine from topside except one. the really hard one for me was the rear passenger side. best to have a long handle flex head rachet. that really helped me. if u liked plugs ull really like doin plug wires. lol.

Pick up a spark plug ratchet, it will be an invaluable tool. You're going to have to get plug #8 (very back pass. side) from the bottom, so jack the car up and see if any of them are easier to get from the bottom as it is. I would remove the starter just to get some more room...

I heard that it is easier for some to get to some from the bottom, I ended up almost sitting on top of the engine to get to the one and after a couple of hours and a lot of patience I finally got all of them
