Maybe he has to walk to the parts store now. He did post about issues with his car.

Two weeks, in the snow, up hill, both ways, with no shoes!

No, I figured he prolly ordered them offline and is waiting to have them shipped, I just saw an opportunity to make an O Brother Where Art Thou reference and couldn't pass it up.

Where George Clooney was ordering a trans belt I think it was for the car and it was two weeks to get it, then he asked for a certain brand of hair gel and it was two weeks out as well, he said what I posted.

Well that will put a hamper on things for sure. Plug wires are pretty easy to change though, just do one at a time. Pull an old one off, and find the same length in the new set and pop it on. Repeat 5 more times and your done!

The driver side is pretty easy, as there isnt anything in the way.
The passenger side is a little more difficult as you do have to remove the intake tube up to the throttle body to reach them.

also, the plug wires on the p/s are clipped to the back of the engine block and can be frustrating to reinstall in the clips.

the ones clipped to the back of the engine. Can they be taken off and put back on without taking the top half of the motor off. The throttle body, cables and vacuum hoses.
