Sorry but I must agree with Ricki.

With the snap-on tool for removing/installing the blower bolts, my last plug change took 48 minutes start to finish.
Once you get over the fact that the extra work of removing the blower makes the job easier, it is a piece of cake.

PLEASE GIVE INFO ON THIS SNAP ON TOOL YOU SPEAK OFF

As you prob know I'm kind of an expert on changing plugs with an Eaton, Mag, or KB, but when I look at the Whipple under my hood now it outright scares the schitt out of me

Although I will never have to do a plug change on the fly like the old days,
I do want to be prepaired, THANKS

Talk to me promod ?
So is this "only" to re-torque and I need to grind it down a bit ?
( yikes how much smaller can u make it )
Maybe I'll do the plugs for schitts and giggles in the next few weeks to see what this is all about, I just wanted to make sure I had anything special I needed so I can change the plugs some day.

Thanks

I guess $30.00 aint bad since u can use it as a cool little key chain too

C'mon Rob. You at least have to give them some credit for supplying a post-assrape cigarette.

I'm using mine as I received it. No grinding necessary here.

No, but I do have one of the earliest Whipples. Maybe the manifold is slightly different.
