I e-mailed him last night and told him that I have about 30 interested people and I have not even posted on all of the forums yet :thumbs: :D He e mailed me a few weeks ago and said that someone had already tried to do a GP on the seat heaters and there were only a hand full of people interested.

I think we have a GP group just on that one post!!!! :eek: :thumbs:

I will ask about the cooled / heated seat option and get the GP price!

I was kind of waiting on making the post until he gave me the GP price.

I bought a set of wire pullers from AutoZone that did the trick. Got the new plugs in (NGK TR55IX), using the stock wires, and had no missings pucks. Vettes running great and I don't have to worry about the pucks (i hope)!!

Thanks for all the replys. :cheers:

Don't the NGK IX (iridium) plugs also have the puck at the electrode tip??

I used wire boot pullers on mine but I'm sure doing it by hand carefully will work just as well. Also used a little dab of electrical grease when re-installing new ones.
