Can anyone tell me how to replace my spark plugs. I figure mine haven't been changed for a long time so I just picked up some NGK platinums. TY.
PS: i tried searching but i saw nothing that had to do with replacing spark plugs |

pull spark plug wires, put in spark plug socket with extension, turn counterclockwise and they should come out, use 3/8" rubber hose and apply to tip of new spark plug, put some anti-sieze gunk on screw part of spark plug, hand feed the new plug in and twist into its going in, pull hose out and tighten with socket, repeat with 3 others. sounds like u should do a whole tuneup, if so get new distributor cap and rotor and rubber seal, new spark plug wires and might as well pick up a chilton manual on the 6GC.
