It takes me about an hour to do my plugs and wires on my 96Z. I do have mid length hedders though.

I took my sweet a@@ time doing plugs and wires. Most of the driver side was simple, passenger side on the other hand was a royal PITA.

OP, Since your car's a daily expect to be frustrated with the plugs. I had a truck to drive so I took my time and minimized my stress. I really don't look forward to doing them again though

I do take my time to. I've just done so many that its rutine for me.

It does help if you have another daily till you get the plug wires hanged and belive me that it saves you quite a bit of money to do it yourself than to pay someone to do it.

Good Luck if you do decide to do it yourself cuz the first time is the hardest.

Plugs, wires and a Opti in 2 hours.
I have headers so that makes the plugs easier.

Maybe it's just cause I've only done my wires once. It took me 2 hours just to route the passenger side wired...

After you do them about 10+ times you know every agel and tool to use for each plug. Also i OVC wire set up so that might help to cut down on the time.


Also i dont count the time i takes me to make the custom fit wires because i do that during the week so i dont have to deal with them at the same time as doing the rest of the ****.
