Hello, Im currently in the middle of my plug and wire change, i have swapped out all the plugs on the drivers side and hooked up all the wires. I have gotten the first three plugs out on the passenger's side and put three new plugs in. However the last two plugs i dont remember which ones they are, but they very last two farthest from the front of the engine, i cannot get. I got the plug out of the 3rd plug on on the passneger side. But i cant get that plug in. I dont even know how im gonna do the wires on the passenger side. Any help ASAP would be great. I need my car tomorrow. Thanks ( by the way, its a 93' Z28 LT-1)

On my passenger side to get the rear plugs I had to lay across the top of the engine and just ram my arm down next to the manifold. It is a tight fit, but I got it done and my arms are not small as I am 6' 4" 295 lbs. Just keep working on it, it helps if you have a friend under the car as well to help guide you. The wires are a pain too but again just do one at a time and you should get it. Make sure you get them all out of the way too because you don't want to do it again in a couple of days because of a burnt wire. Good luck.

 

To help route the wires on the passenger side, if you haven't already, remove the belt tensioner (2 bolts), and remove the two bolts holding the power steering pump on. By removing the bolts on the ps pump you'll have more room in between the pump and the block.

 

ok im now on the 8th and final plug....but i cant get it to save my soul...this is a pain in the ***....then i got to route the wires. I may be able to do the wires easy, i think i can handle that. But this damn 8th plug. Farthest plug back on the passenger side....please help...im trying from the top...i can get a socket on it...but i cant turn it...and i cant do anything but look at it from the bottom....the exhuast is in the way...i cant even fit a hand through it. Please help. Thanks

I just did mine last weekend. The only way to get to the last plug you are on is from the bottom. It is a real pain to get too. If you can, take out the O2 sensor and it will be easier. I just had to ram my arm up in there to get to it. Becareful with the started there, I dropped a wrench and it landed on the starter wires shooting sparks all over the place. It is a good idea to unhook the battery. Take a break for a while and get back at it. Get your wife or some body with really skinny arms to help. Good Luck

 

crap i cant wait till its my time to do the good ol' plugs and wires

 

Try an off set double box end worked well for me, but i cant rem my car when it was stock.

 

I use to say then till i got headers. Now they are peice of cake. By the way on the last plug when i had my stock manifolds i think i went from the bottom to get that one.

Get the socket/rachet on it, then slip a pipe or jack handle onto the rachet & GENTLY turn it (the extra leverage could snap the plug if you're not careful). This is the way I did mine.

 

The Plugs and Wires are completed. All is well. I did get the #8 plug from the top, and i routed my wires, basically with not much a problem. Car starts promptly now, and all is great. Thanks for your help, and thank god i dont ever have to do this for a long time.
