Hello, I have a 98 Firebird which I am considering doing some repair / tune up work on myself. I am considering the following:
* spark plug wire change: what must be done in order to reach the inner plugs on each side of the engine? I used to have an 84 TA which was fairly tight, but this 98 doesn't seem to allow me to see the plugs. Any help would be appreciated.
* changing the windshield wiper motor: is the motor located under the plastic trim at the base of the windshield, and is it difficult to change?
* changing the dash board (the front nearest the windshield). Is this something best left to professionals?
Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your input.

I never changed the plugs on a LS1 but I did my LT1 and I know what your talking about with a cramped engine bay, anyway here is a link of details of how to change the plugs http://www.fbody.com/tech/details.cgi?id=48 Also yes the wiper motor is located under the cowl grille its a simple unbolt , bolt in process as for the dash I have no idea how to remove that but if its like the rest of the firebird dash most of those pieces snap in and out of place. Let me now if you want me to send you step by step procedure on how to remove and install the wiper motor but its pretty simple process once you have the cowl grille off
