I don't know why you guys have such a hard time on the LS1's. Coil per cylinder and I've seen the wires. For the header guys it should be a snap. Daddy you being stk it would take a whole lot longer but not as long as you guys. 2hrs max and that's just goofin off. Once you start playin w/ your car you'll learn all the nuances and such. My car is stripped there for it's really easy to do. :)

I don't really have a problem with mine, but since I had never seen the LT1 plug setup, Jason did it himself (mostly), but he was also smoking and joking the whole time! :lol:

That doesn't really show me how difficult getting to the wires is, though! :)

At least you don't have to remove the intake manifold to remove 3 of the plugs like on my Sebring. :x

LS1 Driver side plugs and wires 15 min.
Passeger side (use a stubby ratchet and 1 1/2in extension) first 3 plugs and wires from up top 15 min. last plug from underneath the car 5 min.
It's all about the tools. This is how long it took me to do mine. IT was my first time doing them. Headers would of probably made it alot easier but I don't have them so I'm not quite sure! So 40 mins and all the beer I can drink, John take that deal and run.....I would!!

Well, the job was a PITA to me 8) We had a lot of fun though! Has anyone here heard of or used the Sidewinder wrench? Seems it would help out a hell of a lot![/url]

Got one. It works good AFTER the bolts/nuts are loose, like finger loose. If it's too tight, you can damage it. But once it's loose enough, it spins them right off quickly. It works great where a speeder bar doesn't fit. Keep in mind that the head of the ratchet is bigger/thicker than other "normal" ratchets. Almost twice as thick...
It was worth the $20 that I paid for it over 10 years ago.

My thread a short time ago also said how much better, luckily I have plenty of room and it took less then 30 mins to do the lot.
