can i replace the plugs and wires on my 1996 camaro z28 without removing the water pump ? thanks jay also , where is my thermostat and pvc valve located ?

 

Thermostat is in the top of the water pump. PCV valve is located on the drivers side of the intake manifold about half way back.

Yes you can replace the plugs without removing the waterpump. Just need to get up under the front of the car.

 

idk about the wires though, the way they are routed from the factory is difficult

 

While it can be difficult to get the wires into their little metal holders, it just takes patience. It's easiest if you do them one at a time, mixing up the order in the holders can make it difficult.
