Default Spark Plug Change and Ignition coil pack

What kind of tool do I need to remove a spark plug?

Whats the gapping I should use?

What wires should I use?

What plug should I go with?

And this really doesnt add power does it?

The MSD coils will add a smoother idle and snappier mid-range response on any car OTHER than a 97 or newer GTP or SSEi, whose stock coils are already a bit hotter.

Less than 5hp, and you'll only feel it if you are REALLY in tune with your car.

Gap at .060" if you run a stock plug and SC pulley.
Gap at .055" if you run one heatrange colder with a smaller pulley.

Yes, that simple. 2 screws per coil. It took me a tad longer as mine were run through a slight laser modification first:

Just wondering what plugs came stock with the bonneville, the ones I have now look pretty old.

So, the ignition coil, all you got to do is unscrew then screw back in? No splicing wires or anything like that?
