At 120,000 miles I'm considering replacing the spark plug wires. It looks like a nightmare though, especially on the driver's side. Those of you who did it, what was your experience?
Thanks,

I'm not sure about the Vette but on the Camaro the alternator had to come off and the power steering pump had to be unbolted to route the wires underneath.I do want to reuse the factory wire brackets, so I've got a set of red Delco LT4 wires ready to go.
I can't see the distributer from below, or from the driver's side at all. Of course the front accessories are different on a Vette versus Camaro. I don't see how to get under the PS/alt/AC even get to the wires.
I see what you mean about removing the inner panels to get to one of the wire holders. That would help. They still go into oblivion after going under the PS pump though. I will check into removing the tensioner and idler.
Having been there and done that a couple of times pull the inner fender panels off. Only takes a few minutes on each side. Opens up a lot of room. I agree do one side at a time. Strongly recommend plugs change at the same time as panels have to come off for them as well.
Once you change them the hard way you will wonder why the panels didn't come off sooner.
Good luck.
Thanks,
Mike
I changed my plugs, it was easy, didn't need to remove anything, plug wire on passenger side was easy. Plug wires on driver side is impossible, spent 5 hours on it, and can't get them on the opti, I'm about ready to set the car on fire!

I have the same Taylor wires you have. Got them on, you need to remove the serpentine belt, remove the tensioner assy, then you can get your hand in to snap the wires on.
