I will guarantee you that you will not be able to get those wires off without breaking some. Use anti-sieze on the new plugs and wires.
This is good advice. TR55's are great plugs and the .055 for a stock car is good too.

Make your job easy and get the right tools for the job and a good supply of body bags, errr scratch that, I mean rubber gloves to save your knuckles.

I recommend you call Gene Culley and get the red GM wires. They're only like $50
