im goin to put in some new plugs, wires and coil packs this weekend. im going to stick with autolight plugs but what would you recomend for wires and coil packs? im not lookin for top of the line just the best bang for the buck.

I used Borg Werner coil packs from O'Reily Auto Parts, I think they were like $60 each. A very easy install. My plug wires are at least 2 years old that I got from Autozone. I know they weren't the most expensive ones, but have been working fine. I also used Autolite plugs last time and a Fram Fuel Filter. My air filter is K&N, so no more replacing it. Tune ups are always a nice way to add a little newness again
IMO as long as you go to an auto parts store that you trust and the parts have some warranty you should be fine.

I prefer Bosch for my wires and I use standard champion or autolite plugs.
Is it just me or is changing the plugs on the drivers side a pain in the ass? I did mine last week and my knuckles still havnt healed up yet.

agreed with that comment

Its been a while since I did my plugs, but I think on the drivers side I loosened the alternator and flipped it out of the way. Then the only tools I used was a 3/8 ratchet and some extensions to get to them. Don't remember busting any knuckles.

I never had to unbolt anything to do my plugs. Just use a few extentions and buy a foot long pice of rubber fuel line. I forget the fuel line size but make sure it can hold a spark plug tight when you stick the plug wire side of a plug inside of it...the threaded end is outwards from tubing. Then when you go to reinstall the new drivers side plugs, just use the tubing to start the plugs into the head. After that, you just pull the rubber tubing off and tighten them with some extentions etc.

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.
