How to change plugs and wires [VIDEO]
Hey guys,
I didnt find any how to videos on the plugs and wires and I know they are a pain to change so here is my contribution... This was one of the harder videos to make bc it was in such a tight area and hard to explain technique... But let me know what you think... I have to change the plugs and wires on my Vette so I can always make a new, better video...

Good video, however I think that for those that have never attempted this, it would be really important for them to see replacement of the number 8 plug. As this is the one that may someone into a tizzy of frustration.
I have also found it alot easier to replace the drivers side wires if I go ahead and remove the A/C-alternator,(not the bracket) and the tensioner pulley. This gives a pretty much straight shot to the opti. Takes a little extra time, but well worth it in terms of vision and comfort. Noting that the wires must be thread in the gap behind the P/S pulley.
After doing this a couple of times, I can see why mechanics want to charge the "Corvette Tax".

That was a really cool Video.....Looks like those were your original wires being that they were numbered, not sure if those are still available or not....Thanks for posting...
