that sucks to have to pull the upper intake off just to replace them, I was at a friends shop 3 weeks ago and he was working on this cadilac and for some reason who ever built the motor decided that the upper intake ( i think that was the spot, it was the the spot dead in the middle of the motor but you had to remove something to get to it) was a good place to put the starter, it could have went into the front of the engine but the exhaust mani left no room for it.

 

That sucks

 

yea every one tells me that those plugs suck...what about denso or split fire..i mean they do have to be better than stock

 

stock champions. there is no benifit, just less money in your wallet.

 

caddy nothstar v-8's DO have the starter in the valley below the in-take. at the time the theory went like this: since the starter is SOO close to the header, that MUST be why they don't last forever. not a bad thought in my mind, but makes for a PAIN to change. no labor/part thought process in that one. don't even think about leaking headers...maaaaawahaa.ha..ha. it's good to have stock in the starter Co i guess.

 

Why, because they cost more? Do you put 93 octane in a SOHC because it costs more? The neon's waste spark ignition sees no benefit from split-fire or platinums!
