I think I did it in less than 30 minutes
I re-indexed my distributor so the new one will hopefully last many years
Dont forget cable lube or you will be buying another one soon

I just removed the AC ducts
You can get your hand back there........its just a spring clip that holds it in.
It's much easier to get the old cable off with a helper gently pulling on the cable from the engine compartment while you push the clip in.
It pops right out
