Still working
Haven't been on the forum for a while, have been busy with the
96 vette projects that you have all discussed and given advise on.
I now have ramps that work, a head light that works with out that
bump bump noise, the vette now runs at about 190 degrees instead
of 228. [that has to do with thermostat and fan programing]
The spark plug change especially on the drivers side does not require
a full tear down of the motor, actually its not that bad.
There is a good article on you tube about this. Go to you tube and
go to chris fix. Real good detailed video on plug replacement.
Next project is brakes pads and rotors.
Than you all for your help. Preacher Putz
PS told one of my former co-worker what better title could you
have as a pastor and a drag racer. REV.

Cool !
glad to hear you are making good progress !
I tip from someone that lost a LOT of hide on the knuckles doing L98 spark plugs on the passenger side....
Take the wheel well liners OUT (bunch of 10mm bolts) and the RF wheel OFF and its a WHOLE BUNCH betta !
You can actually SEE what you wanna get a socket on!
THAT, really helps !

Sorry, but I don't understand the vengeance! I use a piece of 1/2" square tubing in my spark plug socket, then put a 1/2" open end wrench on the square tube. No trouble at all! Slide a piece of 3/8" inside dia. rubber hose onto the insulator of the new plug, guide the plug with your left hand while twisting the hose with your right. No trouble at all!
