Question Changing spark plugs help please, 2)e3 anyone have?

Ok, all I have ever had is old school camaro's and need help on changing plugs on 02 z28. I know that some have to be taken out from under and many swivels are needed. But I don't know which ones and so on.

Can anyone point me in the right direction or to a write-up

Go to the parts store and get NGK TR55's.. part number 3951 on the box. The E3 plug advertisements are bullshit. If you have stock manifolds on the car you can do all the plugs from the top. Going to need some swivels and extensions etc if you have the A/C and AIR system and all that jazz still on the car.

I was pertaining to the e3 thing. if you have been around old SBC's long enough, nobody in that world uses e3's either.

Are the E3s that bad? I fell in to the BS hype on them and bought a set for my LS3. They are working much better than the stock Delcos that fouled out after about 75 miles. Im running a single plane Vic Jr with fast EZ EFI and during the learning stage it was running really fat. It is right on 13.6 now and the E3s are firing great. I haven't seen a down side yet, Educate me on what is wrong with them, if you don't mind.
