Add the PCV Valve as well (right rear of engine on top of the valve cover) AND USE ONLY GENUINE GM PLUGS AND WIRES!!! Do not use other brands - they will haunt you on these two items. The Aurora engine is picky with plugs and wires. Not to bad a job to do, just take your time, esp with those back plugs.
You will need to remove the Coil Pack, two 10mm screws on front and two on back. Also, try to keep the new wires configured similarly with the old ones. GM makes special note of this in their shop manuals. Just did mine two weeks ago and all went AOK. Just do not rush it. You do not want one of those plugs snapping off on you and they will take a good bit of muscle to remove.
