Answer
Make sure the engine is completely cooled down. The front plugs are very easy, but the rear are a lot harder. Ive found the best way for me is to take off the distributor. Their are a few wires that plug into the distributor and a few other places that you will need to take lose. You can mark them but it is preety easy to tell where they go. Taking off the distributor gives you a whole lot more room to work but you still cant see the plug holes so you can use a mirror and the plug socket should have a rubber inside it in order to hold the plug from falling out . Put a small extention on the socket feel for the hole and look with the mirror to get the plug to the hole. If you dont like the socket and extention method alot of people use a peice of vacume hose slipped over the top of the plug. Make sure the first couple turns are made with the fingers , this way you know you are not cross threading the hole When attemting to incert the plug into the hole make sure you dont bump the electrode against anything because this can reset the gap to be to close. So if you bump it be sure to recheck the gap, this will save you a lot more time if you just check it now and not hope it will be OK, because usully its not. Good Luck George
