Twelve new spark plugs were installed.
New upper and lower valve cover gaskets were installed.A learning experience to say the least, but the drive is worth it countless times over. To own one of these, you better be a good wrench or have a deep wallet for the hourly shop rates.
Somewhere under the left fuel rail is an upper valve cover and three spark plugs. To get to them, you need access from above and below. The dual distributors are in the foreground...

Look at those nice frame rails...all original and fifteen years old.
