How the hell do you get these out of there!? It looks like I will have to remove the Manifolds.

and possibly a ujoint, but not as difficult as some cars are. I remember my girlfriend at the time had a V8 Chevy Monza that the service manual said to remove motor mounts and raise engine to get'em out!!

Re: Plug removal

Any recomendations of new plugs as far as brand, ie. Splitfire.. Bosch..? Also, can the gapping be found on the intake cover? Thanks!

AC MR43LTS.......<br /><br />Being a 1998,.. That Should have the Vortec Heads on it,........<br />You can tell by counting the Intake Manifold Bolts,...... There Should be 8,......<br />If there's 12 Intake Bolts,... You have a Pre-Vortec motor,+ should use the AC MR43TS plugs....
