Alright, my buddies got a bad plug wire on the driverside, and he doesnt want to replace them all ( nor would I help him on that ) but I will help him do just one. You can see the spark, its pretty bad. I was looking at it and drew a blank. I have headers so its easy to do wires and ****, but his stuffs like hidden, any tips? theres NO room, do you have to take the stock manifolds off?

And no you don't have to take the manifolds off.

The factory plug wires are actually bolted to the side of the engine block via a metal bracket. It'd be easiest if you just cut the old wire off, and re-route the new one. It might be easiest to reach from underneath, and removing the intermediate steering shaft helps as well (just two measly bolts).

I would, however, recommend replacing all additional wires soon.

if you jack the car up you can go from underneath.. there are a few bolts for the metal bracket they sit in on that side the easiest thing to do is take that off then pull the wire and put in the new one.
