Default Spark Plugs and Wires

There was a thread on this a couple of weeks ago. I am looking to go with new plugs and wires. Can someone direct me to that thread, and also the proper wrench to use as well.

thanks,

adg

I'm running the Taylor 8mm wires and NGK tr55 plugs.

Using a dual swivel socket will make the task a lot easier.

Magnecor race wires and NGK TR55-IX Iridiums. Do yourself a favor. Unclamp and remove the air injector hose from the antibackflow valve on the left exhaust header. The whole tube and hose assembly that blocks the rear spark plug can then be easily moved around to make room for your hand and tools. Also, pull the vacuum line from the brake booster to make more room. These two items are easy to do without tools and will make the whole job immensely more pleasurable.
