Default Plug wire installation

What's the trick to install wires on the driver's side of a 92? You can't even see the distributer.

I had to remove the shrouds in the wheel well. Jack the car up and slide my arm up next to the oil pan to reach the driver side of the dist. Then replace the one at a time starting at the top and route them individually. It takes a while but that is how I did it.

I've done the wires from the bottom and from the top. Definitely doing them from the top is easier. You have to remove a few bolts to get things out of the way, but its still much easier.

I suggest doing a search on the subject as its been covered many times over the past year and instructions are quite detailed. Plan on spending a few hours doing it.

I do mine from the top... either WAY it's a PITA and like Mez says, set aside a few hours.
