How to change the spark plugs on a 1986 Ford Crown Victoria (302 5 Litre engine)?
I replaced the plugs on the left side of the engine (from divers perspective) but I can't figure out how to change the plugs on the right side of the engine. There's an A/C compressor over the front plug and a bunch of hoses (not sure if they're vacuum hoses?) over the rest… Do I have to disconnect the A/C compressor and all of those hoses? I'm sure the hoses are a definite yes but how do I disconnect the compressor?
Just a step by step guide or even a video would be much appreciated
This is where extensions, wobble sockets and u-joints come in handy. By the way, don't use platinum or iridium plugs in that "high-swirl" '86 cylinder head. The turbulence in the combustion chamber will blow the flame kernel out. The electrodes on those exotic plugs make a small spark that is easily extinguished before combustion takes place.
