So here's my dumb question for the day:
Are the plugs under the valve covers ? I hadn't looked under the hood for a while until I bought new plugs and when I finally looked, couldn't see them.

no. each plug has a coil pack on top of them. unscrew the holding nut and simply pull up on the whole pack itself. plug is down in the hole.

Each plug has it's own dedicated ignition coil over each plug held in place with a nut/stud.It looks like a little black box with a electrical connector with wires to anti-knock sensors. Don't look for cables or a distributor. It has neither.

ok so what im getting from all this is, the copper plugs are cheaper, and they provides the smoothest idle.

BUT, the ones that Jimbo put in, the platinum tip ones, will they last longer? Thats what Im interested in, I thought you could run a platinum plug for 100k without a problem.

Dont the copper plugs sh*t the bed pretty quick or am I wrong?
