Are the spark plugs and wires hard to change on the 3800? I did it one time on my 95 Monte, a 3.1 V6, and it was a pain, but not impossible.

I asked around and I was quoted $150+ by more than one place. As soon as you say 98 Camaro you can hear the wince in their voice. It's actually entertaining.
It took me 6 hours. I looked like I had been attacked by a lion when I was finished from all the scratches. But yeah, for the money I saved i'd do it again. Just have the right tools, a lot of patience, and a few beers and you can do it.1998 Camaro V6 \"Black Mamba\"<br />Y87<br />Whisper Lid w/ K&N filter<br />Flowmaster American Thunder<br />Numerous appearance mods.<br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2154172\" target=\"_blank\">Car Domain</a>

ha, those poor mechanics........ I have a 98 AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (they all run in fear!)
Would getting under it be easier (I might be able to borrow a lift)? And when you say tools what kind would you recommend (other than the obvious)? I have replaced plugs on my monte and it took about 4 hours...so hopfully that exp can help speed things up.
Ive never replaced plugs before, is that easy or tough?

actually changing ur plugs is a cinch, getting to them is the problem. i've got headers and still had to attack 2 of the plugs from underneath. anyhow yeah, go find some jackstands, only way to get to them. i cant remember if i could change any from the top before i put the headers on, but you WILL need to get under the car. happy hunting.Black 1996 3.8 Firebird T5, SLP CAI, Pacesetter Ceramic Headers,160* t-stat, PCMforLess Tune, Flowmaster American Thunder catback, Car Sounds Cat, custom s-pipe, MSD coils and wires, NGK plugs, 3.42 posi rear, B&M Ripper, 245/50 BFG-G-force's

Don't forget to dab the new spark plug threads with anti-seize compound! This valuable tip will save you from being scared to go underneath your vehicle next time around. Its definitely worth it.
