            get your knees up on the battery...use an open ended wrench, (not an ajustable one) Use the "closed" part of the wrench, slide it carefully down the spark plug...make sure you keep it as straight as possible on that nut part on the plug...then tighten...can't let it slip off, you have to hold it right otherwise you'll break it...gotta have patience...

                  unless you're 7ft tall and can get leverage over the engine to the back. The only way I was able to position myself to do it was like that...

                  So, what are you waiting for??? Get on your damn knees and put that plug in the hole...

                    plug is in the hole.... car is running great just went down the highway to see if it was misfiring, nothing. So i got on the parkway for a bit and floored it from a stop. 0-80mph no misfire! Finally i've been misfiring for weeks to no avail!

                      its really not that hard, unless it is so much harder trying to do it on the 2000+ (i think) exhaust manifolds

                      i got all of mine easily with the car on ramps from the bottom and top
