Spark plug info - I'm a bit lazy

(1/3) > >>

Mattrix:
Hi guys,
Rather than take all the time and get all greasy to find out (at which point I then have to jack the car back down, clean up, get in the car to drive to super cheap - since it's the only car I have on the road at the moment, buy the bits, then come home and jack it up and get greasy again!) I'm wondering if y'all can help me.
I just want to do a spark plug change but I want to know:
a) What type do I need?
b) What size spark plug socket will I need?
My car is a '78 small block.
I figure someone in here can tell me off the top of their head :)
Thanks in advance.
Matt

What can i say

Mattrix:
Hey, just figured somebody might know already, since a lot of people in here are constantly working on their engines. Looks like I will be taking the greasy path.

Mattrix:
Oh, and I have been caught out before with the tool side of things when working on this car, since most of my tools are metric. Again, figured someone would be doing it all the time and would have the information at hand.
So while "laziness" was a factor, I also preferred to not have to spend the best part of a day jacking it up and down and driving it back and forth to supercheap, if I could just ask a question and have a knowledgeable vette driver answer it easily (not so easily, it seems!).

Scott:
If you need to jack up the car to remove a sparkplug, you may be doing it wrong :club:
And no, I don't know what sparkplug. Sorry :D
