I want to do a sparkplug and wire replacement. Autozone, Discount Murray's have numerous choices for plugs and wires. Is there any brand I should get vs other? Is the multiple point plugs worth the extra money? I was leaning towards bosch plugs single electrode. I have always heard those multiple electrode don't work very well.
Secondly all repair guides say rotate engine forward to reach the right bank. The rear plugs are buried. Is it as easy as hooking it to a cradle, removing the rear engine mount and pulling it forward. Do you have to disconnect anything else in the engine or transmission?
Thank you

Do not get multiple point plugs they do not work at all, sometime they even missfire. The best plugs you can get a NGK iridium plugs they are not to expesive. They are the best plugs I've ever used. They are the best plugs on the market beside denso. I got a pair at kragen. I wouldn't suggest using bosch I used them in my mustang for a while and it ideled funny did not have instant power when I needed it. Also had a lot of pumping loses. When I put in the NGK's it was a completely diffrent car.
