Plugs and Wires

RavensChild · October 17th, 2008, 04:08 PM

hey all i was thinking that i should replace my plugs and wires. I havnt done it in the 8k miles ive put on and i dont know about the previous owner. I was just wondering the price for it all. Is there any tips that anyone has in replacing them?

Autolite coppers plugs (about 2-3 dollars each)
Duralast plug wires (30-40 dollars)
Anti-sieze paste (less than a dollar)

Tips:
Ask for specifically which ones fit your car.
Replace one (plug and wire) at a time so you wont cross wires.
use anti sieze paste on the threading of the plugs themselves for easy removal next time
make sure you have different extension sizes and/or a joint socket for your racket wrench.
Expect to take your time.
the plugs furthest back are the hardest but don't get discouraged.

ohh i almost forgot, you're supposed to gap your plugs too...

get a gapping tool and gap your plugs at around .054 of an inch.

how much that tool cost? like 3 bucks?

Don't spark plugs come pre-gapped, you just buy them with the gap you want?

dont bother replacing just wires on an original ignition

buy a new one or upgrade to a screamin demon coil pack and livewire wires
