spark plugs.... easy job.... id go with bosch platinums...


spark plug wires :eek: :eek: :eek: if yours is all original, then thats a PITA!!! they feed through the motor mount and go under ignition shielding and are quite a hassle.....

thats another reason to upgrade to dynomax ceramicoats and re-route the wires over the top in nice wire holders....now i can change my wires in like 10 min if that..

:yesnod:

plug wires are pretty menacing...i bought wire looms & clipped the old wires and pulled them thru the mounts....ran them thru the looms...makes it a hell of a lot easier, and easier to change them out in the future.
