Default Spark plug wires

I'll be changing out my spark plugs and wires this week when they come in. I was looking thru my RAVE manual and can't find anything it there about changing them out.

1. Anyone know where I'd find that info? and

2. About how long of a job am I looking at?

Go back to the rave and select ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, then REPAIRS, and you'll have spark plugs and ignition coil right there

You might want to call me and I'll be glad to walk you thru the process depending on if you have secondary air or not.
We can also talk about Magnacor 8mm wires which is the most popular wires for a Rover.

Make sure you have an intake cover gasket as well, you'll need that.

You only need the gasket if you are removing the intake manifold. If the truck does not have secondary air and you don't have a hugh hand, you can get it done with out buying the $50 gasket, maybe a six pack and a band aid for after you are done.

Thats what I used, the sixer tasted good too. The less parts you have to take off the better!
