A few stupid but important technical questions

How do I disconnect the negative lead on each ignition coil? Where are the coils located in the engine compartment? A picture would help if anyone has one.

What are the best spark plugs? NGK 9's?
Where is the thermostat housing? Is it under the coolant filler neck?

I'm about to do the radiator cooling fan mod. How do I know if my car has had the fan control wiring update?

I haven't gotten the manual yet so I'm kind of lost on even the easiest stuff. Thanks for the help.

- Spark plugs are sparkplugs, get the ngk 9's about 10$ a pop, just replace them often enough.

- The thermostat is located behind the entire filler neck housing.

- don't know about the fan mod, i hooked mines to a manual button.

- go visit one of the helpful faq sites...
