List Your Procedure For Changing Spark Plug Wires With LT's

Whats your guys procedure for changing the wires on the LT1 with LT's on it. For the plugs I planned on just using a spark plug socket with a head on it i could fit a wrench on. Im clueless on how to do the wires. I can't even see how they are routed really.

Do you guys remove your intake? Jack up your car? Remove alternator or battery or anything to see where the wires are at better?

Sometimes taking the alt off will help you see what your doing. The important phase others forgot to mention is cuss. =D

The battery can stay, the intake can stay, removing the alternator will help with access to the #2 plug. As for the wires, just put your car up on rhino ramps or jack stands and they will be 10 times more visible and accessible from the bottom then the top. I don't know what kind of wire setup you are using, the stock routing or the over-the-valve-cover setup, but nonetheless, make sure your wires are not touching any of the header primaries.

Stock wiring is a ****ing bitch, takes 2 people usually for the passengers side. One to feed it up and another to pull it through the accesory belt area. Removing alternator does help some, dont know if its worth it tho. Ive done it both ways. Both times using two people.
