Sparkplug and Wire install on 94
Thanks for the tips posted by SJW from Scube on removal and install of sparkplugs.
My tips so far are as follows: Remove as many accessories as possible.24 hours prior to work hit everybolt you can see with PB Blaster. Have plenty of band-aids available because you are going to bled.. Lots of light. Mirrors with long extendable arms. Lots of quality tools. Soft mat under engine to catch sparkplugs as they slip from your hand. Movable cart to hold parts. The red shop books. Raising Corvette did not reveal Opti Spark connections.
The good: three hours into job, #5 sparkplug installed.
The bad: dropped sparkplug five times. Bolt mounting Air Cond Compressor took 6lb. hammer and punch to get out. Pulled up hard to remove alternator, broke electrical connection underneath. Broke one wire loom.
