Default LT1 Spark Plug Install Tip

I changed the plugs on my 94 LT1 coupe today. Here's a tip for anyone about to do this yourself. Passenger side: There are 2 threaded studs over the rear plugs. One for the dipstick and the other is holding the fuel lines to the air conditioning box. Take a saw and cut them flush with the nuts that are on them.(Don't forget to file them smooth, to remove any sharp edges) You'll be amazed at how much easier it was to move your hand around with those things out of the way. I also took off the wire loom brackets. Hope this helps somebody out.

Great tips, guys. Don't forget the anti-sieze compound, either.
