I just installed MSD on mine with the plugs I installed yesterday. Took it out for a spin and at first it missed a bit and then once it ran for about ten minutes or so it ran fine.

And it took me about 2 hours to do a plug change on my buddy's LT1. He had headers also.

Not to get on anyones case, but is there a unspoken rule that no one should use all caps when typing a thread? I'm not sure if its offensive to people or just difficult to read. I was recently told on another thread that I sounded like a moron for using caps on. Oh well, I'm a moron with a business, 2 cars, 2 boats, and a house.

Using all caps makes you look like a 12 year old on AOL. Plus, it's very obnoxious and difficult to read.

And congratulations on all of your material possessions. I'm glad you shared.

When I went to change mine the first time, I looked at them and said f%#k it I'm ordering headers to make it easier. Header's make it like a 20-30min job at most. So glad I did.

LMFAO!

That mechanics quote cracks me up...

It takes me about 30-40 minutes with my headers to change the plugs. I've changed them in a lt1, but I'd imagine it takes a little longer.

I dont see why it takes so long. Do some of you guys not have spark plug sockets with the rubber boot inside? I just put that on there first and then throw the ratchet on there.

That's what I did. I think alot of it is being scared of messing something up ???? the first time. Now I could probally do it in about 45 minutes if I had too.
