I was having fun in the garage with the El Camino. The plugs and wires have been in place for way too long. Likely since I swapped engines 87,000 miles ago. The old plugs were put in by a really smart guy, (blush) and antisieze was used. They were in there tight, but came right out. Well at least the driver's side. I am replacing the spark plug wires as well. That is the hardest part. Tomorrow I will do the passenger side, and that is easier except for the very back against the firewall plug. The driver's side has the steering column, AC and power steering pump, brake master cylinder and other stuff in the way. My back said enough. Time for a beer. Yep, I heard it say that!
The old plugs were certainly worn, and I got my money's worth from them. The engine was running fine, but on occasion missed for a few seconds, and then cleared up.
The 911 is way easier to change plugs for me. Of course I only change the 911 plugs when doing a valve adjustment, so all the "stuff" is out of the way already for the valve adjustment.
