Default plugs and wires

ok, I'm familiar with traditional plug wire and distributor configurations, however on my camaro im not sure i know where they are. Are the plugs under the little metal cap lookin things? and are my plug wires just the short little wire that runs from the plug to the rail looking system on top of the ls? thanks for your help. peace

yes, your plug wires run from the coil packs sitting on top of the valve covers to under the exhaust manifold. you should be able to feel where the plugs are in the heads if you follow the wires. hope this helps

yeah the little short dopey wires are your plug wires...yes the plugs are under those metal cap lookin things - those things just cover the ends of the plug wires

you should get 2 clicks when putting the wires back on the coil packs (on the rail looking system), one click on the plugs
