Question Locating Spark Plugs

Okay I may be dumby but I'm new to working on cars and I can't find my spark plugs. I looked at other cars but the plugs were in a idiot proof position yet I can't find mine, can anyone tell me/show me in pictures where the heck my plugs are. I have a 98 camaro, v6 3.8L so any help would be greatly appreciated...

They're typically not very far above the exhaust manifolds. 3 on each side of the engine. There will be a thick wire leading to each one.

Follow the wires and find what you seek, but please, do them one at a time, and do not pull the wire expecting it to 'pop' off, life will fet ugly if you do.

Heh, my first time with this engine i ended up having to cut all the wires off and put new ones on. Oh well, had been planning it anyway.

Re: Locating Spark Plugs

Whoohoo finally got all the plugs out and back in, I actually managed to not destroy the wire but on of the boots was hangin onto the wire by a thread, probably one of the reasons why my cylinders were miss firing. Now to get the new wires on...
