Plug wires
I have a 89, How hard is it to change the plug wires?? I have a handicap I have limited elbow movement due to an accident. But still like to do my own work. Any hints our known pit falls will be greatly appreciated.

Changing some of them will be very hard for you i think. Not all of them are bad though.

With limited elbow movement #2 and #8 will probably be tough for you. The driver's side is pretty straightforward, but the AC compressor and heater box make the passenger side more of a challenge.

If your left arm is the problem you may have an issue working on the right side wires.
You should remove the dist cap & EGR tube on the right side and pry down the two wire retainer clips to remove the wires. On the left side the brake booster line makes life a little difficult till removed.
