plugs and wires install
plugs and wires install
Any helpfull tips on this, I have slp headers but still even locating some wires looks tuff. I also have a vortech to make matters worse. should I get some sort of heat sleeve, I bought the 10.4 taylors and there huge.any kind of advise to make this job doable will be appreciated.....
Get your hands on every type of tool to help the job. Swivel sockets, extensions of many different sizes, wrenches(cut them down if you can to make them fit into the tight places).
Also, if you dont have mechanic gloves, GET THEM. 20 bucks for the cheaper ones, they friggin saved my hands soo much its not even funny. I wear them everytime I touch the engine compartment(well anything serious)...they work amazing
Other than that, i have heard of some people using a few heat sleeves if they are necessary. I dont use them, I just have taylor OVC setup, and never burn any.
Make sure you use di-eletric grease and anti-seize on the plugs.
Goodluck and have fun

Get a punching bag if you have shortys with a blower.
Just take it slow and walk away for awhile if you get frustrated (and you will)
And keep in mind that no matter how hard it gets or how hopeless it may look it can be done, just stick with it.

Do yourself a favor, and get yourself a stubby 1/4 ratchet. Its the most handy and often used tool in my tool chest And it realy came in handy when I changed my plugs. Also get a small piece of 3/8 rubber hose. Makes it much easier to grab the new plugs and screw them in. And get a 5/8 spark plug socket. The kind with the foam inside that grips the plug. And mechanix gloves.
