plug replcement in '82

[Al Pitt]

Can the spark plugs come out from above?

Not quite sure what you mean but installing plugs in the 82 was quite painless compared to the C4. Some I access from the top and others are quite easy when attacked from underneath. it's a good opportunity to also clean and check your plug wire hold downs (retaining clips) when underneath her.

I took the rears out from the bottom (very easy). The front two come out from the top (a little more difficult but not too bad).

How's the snow in Foster? I used to live in North Smithfield.

How often should/do you change the plugs and the wires?

I do a complete overhaul every year, plugs included. The wires I change upon overall visual inspection. If kept clean and off hot spots they will normally last a few years before i change them.

Carlo, it would be greatly appreciated if you could expand on "complete overhaul". It sounds like you do a lot of preventive maintenance. Could you just quickly type out a list so I (and others) can learn. That would be much appreciated!

If It's in RI it is stolen! BEWARE. Almost lost mine before I got it home. Flat bed fever. Kill switch means nada.
