RE: [DML] Re: stage II (Faster Cap & Rotor Changes)

["Tom Tait" <TTait@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If one removes the W shaped air horn, disconnects the throttle linkage
rod, and removes the two mounting bolts for the air/mix assembly, it can
be slid forward several inches to give you better access to the cap and
wires than that.  This will take about 10 minutes,  but save you a lot
of time overall.

 

Also, replacing plugs and wires is a breeze if you install the SS
braided fuel line kit.  OMG it makes it SO MUCH EASIER to get to the
plugs, wires and injectors - you wouldn't believe it.  As nice as the
kit might look, its real value is in making access as easy as any car
you have ever worked on (except plug #4, which you still want to remove
the idle speed motor to get to in order to swap the plug, but still...)

As John Hervey told me, there are many ways to accomplish changing 
the spark wires. He considered I found mine:

Being too lazy to take the intake manifold of, I turned my fingers 
into my eyes and with the help of a mirror I exchanged the cables one 
by one until finished. Took a couple of hours, some bruses and 
chipped skin, a sore chest, but.... it started and ran straight away.
Mission accomplished, happy owner!
