i did the 8 spark plugs from the top in 1 hour with 2 5 min breaks whoever says its still hard with LTs can rent me for $50 for the plug change lol.

id say the passenger side is the easiest from the top. #5 took the longest because our primaries arent individually spaced (damn LSx).

compared to my first time of 6 hours with stock manifolds and a wire change too, this feels like more of an accomplishment than getting into the 11's

skinny forearms helped me out the most.

i used the standard 5/8 plug socket and thin ratchet for the passenger side. drivers side 1,3,,7 same thing. for #5 i used the socketto a short swivel to get it away from the primary, and a 2" extension. i also had to use 3" od hose to get the final finger snug of the #5 plug. seriously i can stick my whole fist in front of all plugs but #5.

i had the alternator on too.

!AIR and !AC is a godsend.

It took me an hour with the stock manifolds. It would have been faster if I hadn't spent 20 minutes on number eight. I haven't changed them since the long tubes went in, but I would expect 30 minutes for all eight.
