Plugs and Plug wires
Hello,
Got my first vette a few months ago...
1977 L48
I am getting ready to do some much needed maintenance.
Just wanted to check in with a quick question:
What plugs and wires to you folks prefer?
Thanks for any input.

Kenny,
Regardless of what you read on the forum, you DO NOT need to remove or unbolt the motor mounts to install the front 2 wires on each side.
Lub up the distributor boots with dielectric grease. Slide the 'boots' of the wire being carefull not to damage the wires. Slide the distrubtor end through the top of the motor mount.
Take pictures of the factory routing when you dis-assemble. Its complex.

I know the wires are not stock or run from the factory, but I will note their placement.
