Spark Plugs and SLP CAI in...

Well, my SLP CAI came in today, installed it no problem, then went to do spark plugs... once again, no problem... I hear so many people say that it's so hard to do, but really... it's not. It's a tight spot for like 80% of them, but nothing too hard. Took me like 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Not too bad. A few cuts and scrapes, but nothing too bad... Made a defininate sotp improvement, seeing as the spark plugs that were in there have almost 80k miles on them. I'd be willing to change spark plugs for people around my area for cheap now. Anyways, yeah. Now it's almost time for a new clutch...

I think I'll attribute it to the fact that I work on F-15E's for a living... Those Pieces of crap are alot more cramped than a damn F-Body... Or I could be Mr. Fantastic. Either way, I'm glad I got it done finally.

yea its definitely not a fun job, but its doable. if you lay on top of the motor and have an angled ratchet it makes it 50 times easier. plugs 2 and 8 are the hardest, but if you remove the alternator and starter theyre not all that bad.

now install some long tubes

The last 3 mods in my sig are the next mods I'm doing. Sorry about the confusion... For me the most pain in *** one was 2, the other I didn't have a problem with.

Good job with stock manifolds!!!! I have Mac headers and I still dont like to change em. My starter doesnt have to come of though ...., and I can do it with the alternator in place, allthough much easier off. This is another reason I went with MAC headers ........ I can change or re-gap or inspect plugs in 30 min !!
