tips on changing my spark plugs?
#2
get a spark plug socket (5/8" with the rubber hole in the middle) that has flats on the end of it too. i found it a little easier to use a thinner wrench that can grip on the flats of the socket rather than having a giant socket wrench to move around and clip into the socket. try searching on here i think there are a few threads that have good hints at it though

SLP used to sell a socket like that, I think they wanted like $20. You can do the same thing yourself for just the price of a regular spark plug socket .

Drivers side is cake from under the car.
Passanger side #2,#4,#6 are cake also.
The only plug I had a difficult time with was #8. It's too far to reach from up top, and a pain to get you hand in there from the bottom. I ended up dropping the starter and had my brother guide it up from the bottom while I got it in from up top.
Total time to change plugs was <2.5 hours.

i just did mine the other day in about 2 1/2 hrs on stock manifolds
driver side - do from the bottom
passenger side - you can do the back 3 from laying across the motor
the front one, take the alternator off, it'll make it so much easier
