Just keep some band-aids and anti-septic stuff nearby

I'd spread em out. Do maybe two a day, or if you got time, do one side one day, the other side the next day.

I can't see it taking too long to do the plugs.........except for #8 (and maybe #6? ) which look a little more crammed in, but the other plugs aren't "too" buried like they are on LT1 cars. I helped my friend change plug wires on his '96 T/A, and that was about a 6 hour job . I don't think the plugs would be much easier or quicker on one of them either?! But looking at my car, the driver's side looks like a piece of cake, and the passenger's side just looks a "little" awkward!? I guess I'll find out the hard way at some point though!

C5's are not so bad. I've never done one, but by the looks of it -it should be much easier then an F-Body. the whole hood lifts up and there ya go. The reason the F-body is so hard is because our engine is about 1½ spark plugs pushed into the firewall. Do a seach on engine pics for a Camaro and a Vette - you'll see what I mean.
