#8 spark plug

[Hi-psi]

It’s the best way. Regular plug socket with a 3/4” EXTENSION on the end, which Im pretty sure @Hi-psi meant:


Or maybe not but a 3/4” extension with a regular plug socket does work best.

No, actually what I meant is what I said. A regular spark plug socket, with a short well 3/4" socket on the end. Adds just enough overall length to put your ratchet point just past the manifold.

Yep I figured that out. Thanks for that tip, I had heard of the stubby extension but not that trick.

i replaced mine with acdelco irridiums 41162 and wires. amazingly, i havent seen any diff in gas mileage or performance. still never over 16mpg!

Did all my plugs today, for the first time, in about 2 hours. I used the 3/4" extension that was recommended -- still wasn't easy, but not terrible.

Probably the easiest chassis with an LS engine to change plugs on. I just used a short extension on a spark plug socket.....

You think the LS is tough, try it on a Big Block 2500.....

Sounds exciting! How much less room is there?

You mean 16 mpg is the average for a tank of fuel?

8.1 or 6.0?

8.1 or 6.0?

Ummmm...6.0 isn’t a big block.

Ummmm...6.0 isn’t a big block.

It is to me--now lol. Just trying to clarify. Some guts consider it a BB. I don't, but hey--gotta ask.

Who is it that considers a 6.0 a BB? It’s basically a Chevy 350 (366cubic inches actual) and a 350 has always been a small block. 427 was the smallest big block. Unless things are different in Jersey lmao.

 

[iamdub]

If a 6.0 is a big block, then a 4.8 would be as well.

Don't forget about the 396.

Believe it or not I've heard honda guys say that before. I, for one know the 6.0 IS NOT A BIG BLOCK.

Forgot that one. It wasn’t very popular. Poor big block stepchild.

Just quit while you’re behind. The hole is only getting deeper.
