I should add, 7 plugs were Bosch +4s, the # 8 plug was an AC Delco.. looked like the original plug or atleast the FRLS # on the plug

I use a spark plug socket, universal, 2" extension, universal, six inch extension. Changing out eight was easier than I thought it would be. Getting seven started was harder than eight.....

Before going to BG, I replaced my NGK TR55 with AC 41-602s. #8 was a pain. Finally got it with 5/8" socket with universal and 3" extension then using a breaker bar to have enough room between extension and heater box. BTW, at the Midwest Gathering, Mark H. suggested using
Plumbers Grease on plug boots to keep them from hardening. Makes pulling boots off easier too.

Yea, #8 is a bit out there.....it should be the first test to see if you are a 'true' car guy...anyone who owns a Z and still has an FR_LS plug # in the 8 hole should have their power key revoked.....unless they are at a NCRS meet getting flight judged...:thumbsup:

I buy the large tubes of di-electric grease & squirt a glob right into the boot before reconnecting it....:cool: ....haven't had any sticking issues in 3 yrs.

Uh oh I might lose my power key as I've never even touched the original plugs..........lol
