You can do it your self. Check the Bullit Archive for a write up.

I am unsure of your year but judging by your body style. be very careful when doing the plugs. Certain years running windsor heads have issues with plugs blowing out of the head.

On a side note did/have you dynoed with you C&L maf? They have a tendancy to make the car dangerously lean.

 

No, dont just hand screw them in. They need to be in a little tighter then by hand.. just dont overtorque them.. they arent the toughest things you will ever install.

 

Remember to torque the plugs. Yes you can tighten them too much! Not fond of the C&L MAF unit either. When I installed the Kenne Bell I had to replace it because of just the reason SilverGTV8 points out, leaned my fuel out and it was a hard MAF to tune. It was easier and better to just replace it with a Super Chips unit. Good luck.

 

you won't be able to reach the plugs by hand, they are about 8 inches deep in a hole about 1 1/2 inches wide. thats why you need the extention

 

I always use a foot long piece of rubber tubing to start the plugs then tighten with an extension. They are easy to crossthread.

 

You can get yourself a spark plug socket from just about anywhere but do the USA a favor and get one thats made in the USA from sears. A bit more expensive, but youll thank me later.

 

this is what my uncle did when he put mine in. just some vaccum hose that slips over the plug and drop it in there and hand tighten it with the hose so you dont crossthread, then the spark plug socket on an extension and turn it a little bit more after it starts to tighten pretty good.

 

just dont cross thread them.
