I was going to change the plugs and put better wires in my 6. I'm nearing 70,000 miles so I think its probably time. The only problem is that the plugs look like they are in a hard to get at spot. Are they that difficult to reach and change or am I "over"estimating having a problem with it.

Is there any special or specific tool besides the normal extension that would help?

Thanks

the only hard one is the driver rear side one... all the others are cake... just make sure you have a long socket that can reach them and a few extensions and shit

[whitemustang02]

a nice set of Extensions , a universal joit, a spart plug socket and a little patience and you should be good.

That makes me feel a little more confident. I'm not about to pay over $100 for some shop to do it if I can stumble through it myself. So the bitchy one is the close driver side.

Now, what brand should I get. You guys know my minimal mods. Will I have to "gap" them myself or can I trust that out of the box. Also, how do you feel about the more expensive plug wires vs. stock?

[Onemanzu]

i can do it in half an hour man, nothing hard at all...

when u do it, unbolt the egr from the egr pipe return, that will give u a lil more give in that pipe to help u get to the passenger side plugs...they suck but u can get them done lol and remember righty tighty lefty loosey

you may have to gap them.

which is also simple. gap them to .054

if it helps it took me about 40min to get the tools, take my intake tube out, pull the spark plugs gap them, and put them all back in working at a normal/slow pace

its really easy

i'd say a 3/8 wrench
1inch extension and a 3inch extention then a spark plug socket will do the trick

also do it while the engine is cold
and ALWAYS start putting in the spark plug by hand as much as you can
we have aluminum heads and its easy to strip the thread
and its not so easy to rethread due to the location

and dont do what i did when i was 16 and pull all the wires off and then change the plugs.. uhh what wire goes where.....

[JASonic]

Is there a better wire to use than the stock? I dont care about having a name brand wire or anything like that but I heard its better to get wires with less resistance? Is there a better set than the rest or is it just a "name" you pay for?

[HMUSN]

anything 8.5 mm will do.

[obdnanr]

well my msd wires say 40-50 ohms per foot of resistant
high emi supression abilities
tough silicone
blah blah blah

lowest resistance and highest emi supression

msd wires, they say there good (8.5) waiting for new motor to put em on

[Toph6888]

the thicker the cable the less resistance there is in the cables, i think stock is like wat 7.5 maybe 8mm? so the thicker cables mean less resistance, but unless u also have a better coilpack it wont make a huge difference, i got msd 8.5mm and i like them, but it really isnt a huge difference, they say u dont notice till after u get a new coilpack to put more current through them

[whitemustang02]

id say MSD super conductors
they are great wires and are pretty cheep.

also the thing that will make this job easer is not being muscle bound and having 15 in forearms.

[El_Cangri]

get msd super conductors and a screaming demon coil pack

[JASonic]

Can you suggest one of our vendors for the MSD?

[obdnanr]

theirs someone out there selling them for like 54.99 cheapest online. but their website is like i duno its not right. so dont order from them if they are 54.99

[GreenFaleen]

its not hard, some are annoying though. Thats one thing I dont miss about the stang scion plug change is cake lol

[Toph6888]

well most inline 4bangers are staring right at u when u open the hood u bastard!!!











lol jk

[El_Cangri]

idk any of our vendors ... i even dont remember em
