Any new FD owners in bay area?

are there any new fd owners in the bay area that is about to perform service on their car? i popped open the hood looking to change the sparkplugs and its located way down be below the tb/manifold/elbow (do i need to remove all this or no?) and it seems to be a long quest to get from smog-illegal/sputtering/rough idle/exhaust leak to reliable car.

help wanted. thanks in advance.

i was thinking of taking everything off the top to reach the plugs. i didn't realize sparkplugs can be changed from the bottom.

i'm looking for new fd owners who want to work on cars together. thanks.

skilled people can do it from the top without removing anything, but it helps if you delete your ps and ac. if you have a lift at your house and kick *** tools, ill be happy to work on my car at your place.

No A/C, PS, nor cruise control defintely make it super easy to do the plugs, roughly 3 minutes tops.
