wasnt there a tech article on giving a tune-up to the V-8 engines, like plugs and wires and stuff. how to get at them best and what size sockets. im looking for that.anyone have it? thanks\

 

The plugs use standard 3/8 inch sockets. The best way to get to them is to jack up the car and get them from underneath. I have found this out the hard way.
Hope that helps.

 

I think 89 meant 5/8.

oh yeah, 5/8. 3/8 is my ratchet. oops

 

SM,

I've always been able to change all of mine from the top, even with all the AIR system plumbing in the way. It's even more fun on an LT1, but it can be done. It helps to be 6'4" and have arms like an orangutan, however.

As 89 suggested, some people have good success with changing the #6 & #8 plugs from the underside.
