just my 2 cents
after changing the plugs, wires, opti spark, and water pump, (mainly just the plugs and wires), i'd have to say the Lt-1 in my 94 firebird is the most pain in the butt car i have ever had to work on. Just thought id share that. I luv the car, but sadly, have to part withher.

My stepdad and i can't even figure out how to reach the plugs and wires let alone change them. I figure that doing that and cleaning my air filter would help my car out a bit. I also want to change the fuel filter and maybe have the tranny serviced. I've been told that manual trannies don't need to be serviced but that doesn't make much sense to me. I definitely know what you mean. F-bodies are horrible to have to work on. I've heard header installation can induce murderous rage in people.Red 95 Trans Am: M6, Moroso CAI, Magnaflow, Spohn sway bars, back to life as of 2/15/10!!!

Yes, working on these cars can definetly be discouraging. I remember when I decided to change the plugs on my car. Half way through the process I wanted to quit so bad. But I kept on pushing and eventually finished. The end result and fact that I accomplished something I thought I couldn't, was a very rewarding experience. All great things take hard work to accomplish. Don't lose faith man! Be proud of yourself that you actually finished the job!Originally posted by kansasvmax94

It's not that bad...just keep at it. My first plug change on my LS1 took over 5 hours!!! Busted knuckles and a bruised ego...since then I've done 3 plugs changed and wires...I got it down to 2 hours. Much easier once you know how to attack each plug and wire. Yes, f-bodies are a pain...and at first I didn't think I could change my plugs and wires...I COULDN'T EVEN SEE THEM!!! LOL...but yeah, it's really satisfying when you finished a job you think you couldn't do at first.
You don't know till you try...
