I know I will get beat up for this one....Where are the spark plugs located? I just got a 99 svt, and can't for the life of me figure out where they are...

Thanks~!

 

thers 2 little plates on top of each head, they say like "32 valve" or something like that remove those and there under there

 

But be very, very careful when you thread them back in, the aluminum heads are easy to cross thread, then you are in trouble. I took my 96 in to a dealer for a tune up and they cross-threaded one, needless to say, I ended up getting a whole new engine from it.

 

Thats what I thought....I appreciate the answer. Thanks for taking it easy on me! I appreciate the advice about not cross-threading them.

 

Taking it easy? We're all here for the same reason, advice and a common interest. I'm still nervous about doing my new Cobra sparks and they are coming due soon. I hear some mech's use a tube to hold the spark plug, I'm thinking it gives them a better feel to when they start threading other than a socket with a long extension.

 

So now that I know where they are..got any preferance of which one to install?

 

I don't know about the 99's but the NGK TR-6's are the most recommended for the newer ones.

 

Yeah, I'd go with NGKs, but find the right one. The TR-6 are for blown applications because they are a colder plug.

 

What about Bosch Platinum? Are the NGK's gapped from the factory?

 

The TR6's that I bought were gapped at .036, which is where I left them. Some say to use .035 for the 03/04 Cobra's, others say .036. I figured it was just easier to leave them they way they were.
