plugs and wires

is there an EASY way to change the plugs and wires? i can't even see the front two... is it better to get at it from under the car? (i can use full car lift at the post craft shop) or do i have to start removing the intake manifold, the IC pipes and whatever else is between the hood and the plugs?

I go from underneath the car too so much easier make sure you put some axle stands under the car tho.
it took me about 45 minutes this way.

I found I had to take off the throttle elbow and throttle body to get access to pull off (cut off, in my case) the wires. The area around the top connectors of the wires is extremely confined.

If you have to do the wires, do it from the top. There are probably people who've changed wires from underneath, but I wouldn't trust myself to get them seated right.

Acutally that's what I did too - but either way we both removed the top stuff.

I did my plugs and wires from the top. It sucked. Next plug change will be from the bottom.

I always do mine from the top. I tried the bottom but I didnt' like it, tops fine for me and I have big hands and forearms so i don't want to hear people saying "Oh, my hands are to big and they don't fit"
