Plug change

I am going to be changing my plugs this weekend. But I am doing it at a friends house (cause he has a garage, otherwise I'd be doing it in my apartments parking lot, and the complex manage doesnt like that) Anyway, I am going to bring my tools with me. I remeber seeing somewhere a list of all the nessesary tools online, but I cant find it. Does anyone know where that is, or can give me a list. (also need to make sure I own them all) I need to know what length extentions ect. Any help would be great thanks

Ps. It is an '89 Iroc 350 tpi.

Ehelmsin,

You'll need the following int 3/8" square drives:

13/16" spark plug socket;

3" extension;

6" extension;

Ratchet handle, flexing handle preferred;

Universal joint adapter in lieu of the flex ratchet;

And other items:

3/4" open end wrench (or a wrench to fit the flats on the spark plug socket;

0.035" feeler gauge;

Gapping pliers or small pump pliers;

Fender cover & gloves (if preferred);

Anti-seize compound;

Masking tape and marker (to mark plug wires);

An ohn meter (to check plug wire resistance);

8 Champion RV15YC4 (standard heat range) or RV15YC6 (hotter) spark plugs or equivalent;

About an hour with a cool engine.

That's generally what I need to swap plugs in my TPI.

Later,
