Spark Plugs and Wires

I'm going to change the plugs and wires in my 1996 Z28, what type\brand should I get? And is it hard to change them yourself?

I got talyor wires and NGK spark plugs, both from Ls1speed.com. Have fun changing them with the stock manifolds. I am just going to do mine when I do my headers in a week.

Unbolt the alternator. The 3 bolts and 1(?) wire are a lot easier to remove that trying to work around on pass. front plug. Can see to do pass. side plug wires better, too. Rear plugs on both sides are done from below.

I use MSD 6AL and 8.5mm wires with Bosch Platinum +4 plugs. I think I'll get the NGKs next time from what I've read around here.

I used taylor spiro pro 8mm wires and ac delco platinum plugs, try to get the rapid fire one. took about 5 hours. if you got small hands and arms might be easier.
