Well done. When mine was done last year, I found that #5 was burnt onto the that air injector tube above the exhaust manifold. I put some heat wrap on that tube along with adding heat sleeves to the end of the plug wires to prevent future damage.
Just a thought in case you want to avoid this situation

How about those front two on the passenger side (2 and 4) a lot of fun huh? I just did mine on my 49K mile 91, and the other 6 had been replaced but those two were original. I bought the car from the original owner who had all the maintenance done at the dealer, I guess he got ripped off.

I recently installed the same wire set and also NGK spark plugs on my 86. I like the AC Delco set but found that a lot of the wires were just a bit too long. Did you experience the same issue?

I agree. I believe as time goes on parts suppliers condense products so 1 size fits all if you will and a little less specific.

I changed my plugs and wires twice, not a very easy job, at least not for me.
