I'm trying to see whats involved in installing some kind of wire protectors so I dont have the problems I did last year.

had the car lifted up today and was able to locate drives side 3 plugs & wires, my front two have metal clip on boots. back one didnt.

Passenger side, I found both rear ones and they too had the metal boots but I couldnt even find the front one. I went from the top, from the botom, and even from the front, the AC is their but I cant find them,

Is it worth me getting involved in this project?

Also, I know not all the cars have the metal boots but is it right that I dont have them on all the wires? Did I loose some?

And last, this is kinda dumb, but which side is even and which side is odd? is it the passenger side that is 2,4,6? My problems last year were #6 the first time and #4 the second time.

Thanks~

same problem i had when trying to install my new plugs! It was hell trying to get them in on the right side, i cant even imagine the left!! i gave up after i broke off a new plug. Save yourself the hassle, find a good shop take it there and have them replace the plugs. The guy that replaced my plugs says they use a special tool just to get back in on the left side to replace the plugs. GL man!

I normally pay people to do this kind of stuff, I payed 2x last summer to have the plugs/wires fixed after the mishap.

My mechanic will kill me if I bring this car back for any further wire related issues, I know he hates it cuz it's so tight. Thats why I just wanted to get some kind of protection done so they last longer.

You've never worked on an LT1 have you? :D I always went through the top to pull the plugs in my old 94, 3.4
