Talking plug and wires just finished/WOW!!!!

changed my plugs and wires today and i just got to say that it made a big diff. last time i went to the track i could only muster a 14.7@94, now my car feels way stronger. it took me about 5 1/2 hours, including yesterday, and way too many cuts and bruises. only thing i ran into was that my damn socket broke and i dropped another in the bumper cover. did both sides through the top and only problem was the alt. other than that i saved $95 towards my mac midlengths.

I'm doing them for a friend this Thursday. He still has manifolds so it should be a real PITA but I'll just take my time and have lots of breaks in between.

i didnt literally break the socket, but the part that swivels came apart and it set me back about 10 min while i tried to hammer it back together. i guess i found a way to get some $$ on the side cuz this guy at work asked me if i could change the plugs and wires on his Z28. a little more practice and i should get it done in less than an hour like n2ceptor
