Hey guys well im about to put my headders on but i was woundering what would be the best set of spark plug and spark plug wire i should run or would it matter? And also wanted to ask if its really a headache to do them at home because no one wants to do the labor for less then $300.
Thanks Tony,

Took me a week (a couple of hours after work each night) to put in mine. I did it on Jackstands in my garage. Get it up as high as you can. I took off the starter, made it easier to get the pass side up in place. I also removed the steering shaft on the drivers side.

Here is a thread detailing the install on a 1993:

I run Taylor 8mm Over The Valve Cover wires with the fire boots on the plug end. I run NGK tr55's

Good Luck, and get a lot of band - aids.. LOL

It took me a saturday to put on mine in the drive way. I also took out the steering shaft and starter but I had to replace my starter anyway. I used ngk plugs and just ran the factory wires. I tied them out of the way and you actually can't even see them. I like it more than running them over the covers. The most aggrivating part of the entire install was beating in the drivers side floor pan because even with the flat spot on the y it would still hit the floor at wot. Oh well, I'm getting the duals put on next week! Good luck with the install. Let us know how it worked out for you.

Like 94z said use some wire ties and tie the wires back away from the headers save you a headache later!
