i have manifolds. im hoping plugs and wires fixes my problem. im getting suging/hesitation. i did a fuel pressure check, i got 40psi when the pump was primed and engine off, 35psi when engine was at idle, and 45psi when engine was at idle with vacum pulled from the fuel pressure regulator. so im guesing i gota spark problem maybe?

get mechanix gloves, unless you like bloddy knuckles. The worse is changing out the plug in the back of the passenger side. you might also want to consider some high heat plug wires like the accell 9000 wires.
