  • plugs and wires

    So this winter I will be doing some usual maint. stuff. I plan on buying my parts throught the summer and fall and use my winter downtime to do the work. The big question I have is what plugs and wires to use ? My thoughts were to get the AC delco iridiums and then get the 8.5mm MSD wire set. I have read that the NGK is a good plug but guys are saying they replace them every 30k miles. I just have bolt ons now and dont see the benefit in NGK vs. stock iridiums. I dont plan on waiting to the 100k mark to replace the plugs but just wonder whast you guys and gals run ?

    I have the red MSD wires and NGK's, but may switch to autolite plugs next time.

    The passenger side back two are such a b**** that I aggree you do not want to do them often.

        No worries, Id love tyo buy them now but Im a little light in the toy fund. All my next work will be purchased in the fall so I can go play in the garage in the winter. I dont go outside in the cold, I loved to snowmobile and be out doing that til my wife totaled my back up sled and refused to ride again

            I have MSD wires and use NGK Tr55's..never had a problem

            Plugs and wires are easy to change on these cars.well at least the LS's...think I got my time down to maybe 20min without rushing and doing it right

              very nice, I am planning on deleting the AIR and EGR so that should help make some room too. The drivers side looks like a piece of cake the pass looks rough but not terrible from what I could see

                Yea it will make some room for you.

                Just prepare for your hands to look like you got into a fight with a cat when you get to the back passenger side.

                    I don't have a problem with the rear two on the passenger side. I just use a swivel and my plug socket.

                    But then again...
