I did it, I did it, now I know its not that difficult! The car is on an old alignment hoist in the garage and the compressor is in the basement with air (also runs the jack on the hoist, I needed to use it also) and the radio on, (Only one beer while I tried to figure out how much of the wheel well to pull off) it only took 1 and a 1/2 hours. I think not bad!!!!!! The passanger side inner wheel well isn't back on or the tire but I'll wait until I get my MSD wires (Friday I hope) and install them before I put it all back together! Having the hoist and getting the car to meet me half way is better then bending over it all the time bt my back is still alittle sore. I haven't worked on a car in along time, since no job I can afford parts but not the labour charges, DIY now!

Nice going

Now you can take the throttle body and plenum off and clean 'em up; new spark plug wires; IAC valve; new Oxygen sensor; distributor cap; rotor; ignition module; new Egr valve; new serpentine belt; on and on and on.

Have fun
