Well i attempted to change my plugs today, i got the #1,#3,#2, and #4 changed, i pulled plug 7 and now i cant get my new plug back in, also how in the world am i gonna get the #5 and #6 changed cuz i cant even hardly see them, anyone got any ideas on what i can do and how i can get the #7 back in

 

Just take lots of breaks. The job is a major S.O.B. If you had headers it would be quite a bit easier.

 

its got slps on it

 

Do you have the shorter plug socket? Like SLP

 

nope, wished i did though

 

I have Pasesetter LT's on mine and have found the easiest way is to use the plug socket with a 3/4" wrench. Also some plugs are much easier to get from the bottom of the car. Seems like 1,3,5,& 7 are easiest from the bottom and 2,4,6,& 8 are best done from the top.

 

where do ya get the short plug socket from?

 

slp has it or you could pick a regular socket up from sears or somewhere and grind it down.

 

I found the best way to change plugs on the passengers side is to pull the Y-pipe. It will make things SOOOO much easier.

On the driver's side I was able to do them all without too much difficulty from under the car.

 

be very careful when threading the plugs back in, don't force them in and don't overtighten. well..... unless you wanna pull the head off for a helicoil .

 

slp shortys? if so i have them and hear your pain... the primaries run right over the f'ing plugs and at 1 3/4 makes it pia to change-

gotta do mine next weekend too...

 

i feel sorry for u already kingman, i tried it again today and managed to get the #8 off, but now i cant get the #7 or #8 back in, i dred getting the other 2 out, but it is definately pure hell trying to change plugs with slps

 

i dont see it anywhere on SLP's website....i remember they used to have it

 

I pulled my A/C and can get to all of them from the bottom, #8 is still a pain but it takes me about 15 minutes to do them all with stock manifolds from under the car.
I took a peice of vacuum hose on the end of the plug for the hard ones and started them with that. Just use the line to get the plug in the hole and turn it just enough that it starts and you can pull of the line.

Still have A/C and manfolds? good luck

 

Check Ebay for that cut down socket...I remeber seeing them for like $12 on there...
