Plug wires requires 0 tools and doesn't require a lift. I'm partial to MSD Superconductor wires, they are tough as hell. I had an engine fire that wiped out my fuel hoses and vacuum lines but the wires just got blackened, didn't melt at all.

im so happy. today i decided to check the wires & the idiots left the wire they said was faulty, unplugged. it was also getting pulled off by the steering rack so i ziptied it a little more clearance. the wire was fine...they just tried to screw me...now it runs smooth as glass and act's like a built 355 should

Yeah, I pulled the alternator and I believe the bracket under the manifold that holds the plug wires. Its a nightmare! Make sure you remember which length plug wire went where. If I had to do it a second time, I would have ran the passenger side straight up from the opti and over the valve covers. Good Luck!
