My son and I are about to attempt to change the
plugs and wires on the cobra. Can you guys tell
us:

What plugs we need? I figure stock...
What gap? .52 I think?
What size socket for plugs?
How long extention we need and any tips?
Do we need anti-sez compound (can't spell)
Torque wrench? I heard 15lbs
This all sounds pretty complicated to an old school guy so pretty much any info on these beast
will help.

if its a 96-98:
autolite 764's or equivalent.
.52 gap
5/8 socket
8" estension
yes antisieze and dielectic grease
yes a torquewrench
and be very careful not to crossthread.
