are the spark plugs as hard to change as they were in my 99 t/a? There was one that took literally 2 hours to pull out and change, it was a whore an half!

NO WAY. I do these on Gen 2's in 10 minutes (ask Jamler, he couldnt belive it). Gen 1's is about 15 minutes.

F-Bodies SUCK to change!!

I'll second that, I did them in my car, (GEN2). I am by no means a mechanic, but the hardest part was the gapping!

Most GM passenger cars suck to do plugs on. Back ones on the passenger's side right where the heater core/evap case lives especially. I always change them via the wheel well with a long extension.

Plugs are a super quick change on the Gen-2...
As long as you coil boots aren't cracked. Even with E-Taping
all coil boots, Geno was done in 10 minutes...

WHen I did Jamlers plugs he had cracked boots. I used rubber tape to fix them all. It works forever you just have to seriously prep them first. I also unshrouded the spark plugs and ran a .048 gap. Tapping? Ask Jamler? I am clueless.
