very simple, when you get your new wiers there will be 4 in a box. each wire is a different lenth, start with th longest wire and remove it from your car, just pull up it might be a little tight , then remove the end on your desributor, now find the longest wire in your new wires and place it back in to the engine. then from there on just go down in the sizes.

good luck and come back if you need more help and like alsways.

also best to do one wire at a time.... that way you dont mess up the firing order.
very easy!

Excellent idea to do it one at a time. But one other thing, there is a fifth wire in the box, from the coil to the distributor, don't forgot to replace that too, it will look different from all the other wires, it won't have a long boot on the end.

Oh, and when you install the wires, make sure you push down firmly until you hear/feel a slight click, then give the wire a slight tug to make sure it is seated securely.
