GETTING READY TO DO SPARK PLUGS, CAN ANY BODY TELL ME THE BEST PLACE TO BUY THE BOOTS FOR THE COIL PACKS ? I WAS TOLD THAT THE COIL PACKS DONT NEED CHANGED BUT THE BOOTS HAVE BEEN FOUND TO GET LOOSE AND THE RUBBER CRACKS. I WAS LOOKING AT PLUG 4 AND IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF FUN IS THERE AN EASY WAY TO DO IT OR JUST ALOT OF EXTENSIONS AND TIME?

 

i did mine last weekend, i tore two of the tips of my boots on the tip of the spark plugs, and that was a pain i had to use a hammer and pound a 5/8 socket to brake the ruber off to get the plug out, if you turn the boot wile it is on the plug around and around and pull straght up you might not have the same problem i had, i also changed out my injectors so i removed the feul rail that made it super easy to get to the plugs and coils, i also removed some of the brackets on the drivers side just to make it allitle easer to get to the plugs, i used compressed air to blow out the holes and made an atachment for my shop vack out of a one foot peise of heater hose and a one and a half peice of smaller hose so i could vacume out the spark plug holes real good and the area around them i didnt want any little peices of dirt falling down into the combustion chamber, i got my boots from the dealer for $10 apeice you might be able to find them cheaper i just went to the dealer because it is only two miles away and they had them on shelf hope this helps to make your job easy took me about 2 hours not including the trip to the dealer, yes many extensions make it easer

 

THANKS FOR THE TIPS ILL GIVE THEM A TRY. I WAS THINKING REMOVING THE FUEL RAIL WOULD HELP I WASNT FOR SURE IF IT WAS WORTH IT OR NOT I GUESS ILL FIND OUT THANKS AGAIN
BUY THE WAY NICE TRUCK 311

 

your welcome and thanks

 

i did mine without pulling the rail. I beleive autozone now carries the coils and boots.

bigtruck, why'd you change injectors?

 

i was taping out my stock 19# injecters in the higher rpms they just couldnt inject enough feul for the air i was sucking in so i upgraded to 24# injecters they fill up the combustion chamber with a shorter pulse width so i get better combustion efeciency(sorry about all the spelling they need to put in spell check) had to get custom tuning for this, if you need a better explination i have one this is the short version

 

just curious. I've heard some supercharger guy's running the 19# no problem i was just curious how you were maxing them out.

 

in the higher rpms my engine was getting enough air but not enough fuel even with the 19# injecters open the whol time with tuning, by going to the 24# i dont have this problem gained hp in higher rpms by being able to fill up the combustion chamber with more fuel quicker
