Wish me luck

Yep, in a couple of hours I'm going to go out and change the spark plug wires on my '96 bird. All I'll have is some gloves and a pair of scissor jacks, as I'm 200 miles away from home. My wires have been messed up for about 8 months, but with snow and school, and the fact that I'm not going to pay billy bob $200+ to do it, I haven't gotten it done.

As my SES light's been on for the same amount of time I haven't gotten my car inspected either, even though it expired in Jan. My father finally got a letter from the DMV the other day saying if I didn't get inspected by the end of this month they would fine us $250 and I wouldn't be allowed to renew my registration.

I like my hands, but it looks like I'm gonna have to sacrifice them and the skin on my knuckles to get this done.

Get swivel connections and different length extensions!

Good luck

spark plug wires

:(

Not as bad as the plugs themselves, but a good portion of changing the plugs is getting the wires off and on.

wires: 7 on PITA meter
plugs: 10 on PITA meter

Make sure you replace one wire at a time [img]smile.gif[/img]

Wires are pretty easy, the plugs, those are another story.

You must have one hell of a grip to turn the spark plugs by hand. GOOD LUCK [img]graemlins/stickpoke.gif[/img]

Yet again WIRES not PLUGS.

lol, thanks

It took me like 3.5 hrs, but I spent most of the time cursing and yelling at the car.

I've been putting off doing this so that I could get some headers and make this a whole lot easier, but it had to be done now.

Good job on getting those spark plugs on there.

Ha, I bet you thought I was serious! I only had to do the plugs/wires on my Camaro once while I owned it, took a couple of hours to do. I was sure glad I had my Mechanix gloves for that job... :D
