Ok everyone I got the parts I need for a tune up now. Bosch platinum plugs and wires. I would have gotten +4's but I got these all half price with a rebate so I couldn't resist... Anyway does anyone have any expirience doing tune ups on these? I have done so many other cars but this one is a bummer if i have to take it to a shop. It is near impossible to get to the plugs next to the steering shaft and all of them on the passenger side. I have a 305 TBI. Any suggestions or special tools i need to get? Please HELP!

get a craftsman spark plug socket they are a bit shorter, and have wrench flats on them. I never had to use anything special on the third gens, a swivel extension may also help.Make sure you do the fuel filter also

fuel filter for sure....in my blazer the steering shaft goes right by 3 plug and we had 2 swivels and a short plug socket from snapon on there... took awhile and a bloody nuckle later it was off

Thanks guys I have all crafstman tools so I guess it should be fine. Where is my fuel filter located. I haven't looked but it is snow/raining outside right now and it was like 50 degrees and sunny yesterday. Wish i did it yesterday. How much should a fuel filter run for? Should I fill my car up with gas with new filter?

fuel filter runs between $5 and $10 bucks, on your car I think (it's been 10 years since I did one on a third gen)it's just in front of the gas tank
