Plugs, Leads and Coil

[Adtheman]

Hi all, hope you are all good and enjoying the good weather in the cars ive been out in mine quite a bit recently. Ive had a ht lead melt on the manifold because the guy that owned before me decided to change the dizzy broke 2 screws on the cap being heavy handed and well is like spaghetti under the hood. I have a new HEI replacement top, new leads and plugs also the correct lead separators and a picture of how they route from my local corvette specialist. My question to you guys is how difficult a job is it to do this. do have to elevate the car and do from underneath or can i get in from the top to the plugs. I am calm and handy but not done anything like this before, its not about the money paying someone to do it its more i want to do it. i have the correct tools and gap tool for the plugs, torque wrench etc.
is it a ball ache or do you think its achievable

Very achievable, accomplished from the top, just take it easy and replace one lead at a time, do some googling and check the neatness of different layouts - as you know most important to always keep the leads away from the manifold

Thats a lovely looking motor and oh so neat. My wires at the moment are strewn all around the engine bay. I had a call from a guy ive used before to rebuild my carb locally who said he could fit me in next week to change all bits and do timing so i think this time im going to let him do it.
