Spark Plugs on a pair of 496s!!!

Got to 15 out of 16 last night. Going out to buy a spark plug boot removal tool. The port rear plug of the starboard engine has got to be the worst possible thing to get to other than a Chevy Vega.

Just did plugs and wires on my 502's a couple weeks ago. Still have scratches and a few bruises on me.

The best is when you hear that hollow sound of the plug hitting the bottom of the bilge when you drop it. Thank God they are magnetic, or they would still be down there!!!

I thought the Chevy Vega broke down before they ever needed new spark plugs!

So did I until I had one that lasted 100k before it started burning oil. Oh, and a head gasket blew around 50-60K.

My first car was a '74 Vega. Fill the oil and check the gas!

No spark plug issues here!

Hey Dave,
That bilge looks like a great candidate for an Arizona speed kit!!

Man I wish my 496 was that easily accessible.

I sure as hell don't have that kind of room in front of my single but the plugs would be no problem.

See Brian you should just trade me boats and you would not have to worry about having TWO props and TWO sets of plugs. Besides 37 ATs are a dime a dozen down there but how many 28s are there.

Thanks for the offer. I will think on it and let you know. Damn rain today, and I could not even get to the last one, but I did purchase a set of spark plug boot pullers.

I wish I could be so lucky to have such problems.....
