Change Spark Plugs

How hard is it to change spark plugs and wires on a 1994 Camaro Z/28, On the right side can you remove the wheel and go through the fender well.Thanks

You won't neec to remove the wheel, just jack the car up and you should have no problem getting at most of them from the bottom. A plug/wire change is not the most fun job on these cars, most likely why most shops charge what they do to do such a job.

Yeah, if you still have the factory manifolds it is best to go from underneath. If this is your first time I'd recommend doing it on a weekend when you have plenty of time because it will take a while.

Also..

Just as an FYI it is easier to answer your question if we know what mods (if any) have been done to your car and what year it is. I am assuming it is a stock LT1 car?

Unless your nickname is "Mr. Skinny Arms" you will have issues with the passenger side plugs - #2 is a pain if you have an AC compressor in the way - you might find it easier to remove the alternator, and maybe drop the starter, and possibly, but not necessarily, the Y pipe for the back couple plugs. When you get done with the plugs & wires, and your car still runs, you will feel just like one of the crew. Start on a Friday and remember, it's all about having fun

Spark Plugs

I might not change the wires just the plugs. Looks like it would be better to raise the engine
