Default Question bout plug/wire installation

I just finished installing my NGK's and 10.4 Taylor wires. Took me approx. 2 hrs w/ cleanup.
Did anybody have to remove the passenger side cat to get to the #8 plug? It was easier to get to it that way.

Also thanks to Thunder Racing for shipping the plugs & wires within 2 days of ordering. The car starts faster and runs great.

I wish i had pics of my old plugs to compare to my new ones. The stock plugs have a smaller "spark thing" (forgot the name). And they were gapped way bigger than .050

When i started up the car at night, i saw a lil smoke comin from the inside of the hood. Kinda smelt like something burning/melting. I popped the hood, but couldnt really see anything because of it being dark. I screwed up and didnt take the time to drive it after my installs.

Did anybody else experience the smoke after changing their plugs and wires??
I drove it all the way to work (35 miles), and it did fine. When i got to work, there was no smoke. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
