Have you tried a search? I see this is your second post with the same question. Sorry no one has responded, but it is a matter of personal choice as to how to go about getting to the plugs and wires. What is easy for some is not easy for others. It depends on how skinny your arms are and such. Depending on how adept you are, it can be an ok job or a nightmare.

I have Edelbrock headers. Looking at threads about OTVC setup. Does the loom screw in to the valve covers?

yeah.. do the OTVC wires from thunderracing.com I have those.. they come with all teh criping and cutting tools, the brackets that do go into the top of teh valve cover. they protect the wires from the header heat and they look sweet too

Yea get the OVC and throw them on there. If you need any help with the plugs, I also have Edlebrock shorties, so it would be pretty much the same for both of us(if you have shorties, then the same).

Make sure you have alot of tools before you start. Spark plug socket, various extensions, swivel attachment, wrench to go over sprak plug socket when you cant fit the socket wrench over it. I also bought this

because I couldnt get the number 6 plug out..it was on there too tight. Threw that sucker on there and put on my gearwrench and walah!

If you're having trouble with a certain plug, let me know and I can prolly help you.

Thanks - What about the wire install? Will I need to get under the car? Do you drill holes in the valve cover fot the OVC wire loom?
