Anyone got any good tips on changing plugs and wires on a 1993 pontiac firebird lt1, tools or ways to do it without waisting hours on end?

Thanx for the help

Have fun! Theres really no way to not spend hours on it. The smaller the arms the better. Make sure the car hasn't been driven that day cause those heads stay hot for a while.

Yeah it sucks, I will be doing the same on saturday. The driver side is easy, on the passenger side I would take the altenator off. It gives you a little more room to try and weasel your arm in there. You might have to get the rear two on the passenger side from under the car

Take your time and dont get frustrated.... Some ppl remove the alternator to get to the #2 plug... The back two, #7 & #8 are the hardest.. I can get them from the top, some ppl go from the bottom....

First time was 2 hours... Now its around 30 minutes with stock exhaust..

Get the car up on ramps. Removing the stock wires is a chore because the back cylinder wires are in guides bolted to the block. You will need to get at them from underneath. Pulling the starter is not a bad idea.
Make sure your new wires are clear of the serpentine belt on the passenger side.
The stock wire holders will be a tight fit with aftermarket wires. I remove them and use holders made for the size of the wires being installed. I like the 2 piece holders that screw together.
I allow the better part of a day so I can take my time. I guess I work slow but I like to clean things as I go and get everything "just so".
