Plugs & Wires - one of the Worst Jobs Ever

[North Coast Cab]

Little rant.
I have done my share of 911 work from an '84 Carrera to a '76 race car to the new '95 993. Finished changing the spark plugs and ignition wires today. Has to be the worst job I've ever done. Frustration level was high, knuckles are bleeding and my hands are sore......but it's done.

Can't imagine what a dealer would charge for this work. Must be $1000+ job.

Rick Lee has said the same. And be happy you don't have a Vram engine. I'm looking forward to that...

I'm not sure how you went about this job, but I have a '95 993 in my early car. I replaced the wires, reusing the ends. I would recommend doing a partial engine drop and then removing the intake manifold. From there, the job is straightforward. I think it is an hour on each to remove and install the intake plumbing.

I use a bit of silicon lube to fit the new wires through the o-rings in pass-through for the sheetmetal tins.
