just got done with spark plug change

Cant believe it. We should get ase certified for changin these plugs. LOL Actually it wasnt that bad, i checked through this board for tips and that helped alot. It took 2 1/2 days, but I remained patient. If you get frustrated, walk away and try it later. It took me four seperate times to tackle the no 2 plug. Not to mention that i broke the acces bracket that holds the alternator,ac compressor and power steering pump. I found the only one on ebay and won it for $20.00. Now I have to sit and wait for it to arrive before i can start to put it back together.
I also have a tip for anyone that really helped for me. Get a 3/4 gearwrench and a spark plug socket. Use the ratchet part on the socket and it provides less room rather than a head of a rachet in those tight places.

Welcome to the club. It took me about 3 1/2 hours my first time, but the 2nd time only took me about 1 1/2 hours (30min. of that on #2), so it gets easier. I got so pissed I started throwing my tools at the nearest tree and said so many cuss words I had to pray the entire next day.

Congrats on the finish . It took me 2 1/2 days with the stock manifolds, but it should have been only about a day and a half. This is because my dad decided to push the wire into the loom under the alt with a flat head screw driver , and needless to say, he ended up having to buy another set of wires.
Now, it only takes tops 30 minutes with the Mac headers .

Later
