Default Using RAVE to replace ignition wires

The last time I did this job I used the instructions posted in the BBB to replace the wires w/out removing the intake manifold. Although the post was EXCELLENT, I just got too damn frustrated with the process so this time I'd rather go about it the official way and just take my time and remove the IM. Trouble is, though, that I can't find it anywhere in the RAVE CD. Does anyone know where it is?

Page 450 in my RAVE CD is for something entirely different. Check out the attachment and let me know what you think. Thanks for your help.

Sorry, I was looking at the page number on the Adobe Reader, the actual number is 32-2-15 (lower right of the page) for the non SAI and the SAI starts right after that. It's in the "manifolds and exhaust systems - V8" section

My RAVE "Workshop Manual - 1999MY ON - 6th Edition - NAS" jumps from 30-2-22 to 41-1. Ever seen this before? I bought this CD several years ago off the net. Is there anywhere I can download another copy of RAVE that isn't missing sections?

I must be getting dyslexic in my old age, I should have typed 30-2-15 instead of 32-2-15 Sorry. The 32 section is missing on mine as well

Thanks for your help. I'm a bit puzzled, though, as to why there would not be any instructions specific in the manual for replacing the ignition wires. I guess they just assume you should already know what you're doing.

I've never looked for instructions in RAVE about the wires, but you're correct, I can't find it either. The closest is replacing the coil packs in section 18-2-80 (which is a handy page to print if you're ever uncertain about where the wires plug into the coils) Odd thing about the coil replacement instructions is that they apparently want you to leave the wires attached to the coils as you pull the pack out. So I guess (in a perverse way) these are the instructions for replacing the ignition wires)
