It is when you don't know what a spark plug wire is

BigToque, some words of advice to do the project correctly:

-- Do not try to remove the plugs when the engine is hot, you can easily strip the threads in the cylinder head resulting in the need for "helicoils" which can be BIG bucks at the local machine shop

-- It is a good idea to spray the old plugs with some type of WD-40 before trying to remove them (especially if they are old). Let the penetrating oil "work" for a while before trying to loosen the plugs.

-- Next, slowly try and remove the plugs, if the plugs begin to back out and feel as if they are re-tightening themselves, this is a sign of possible cross-threading (which you do not want to do at all). If you feel this, try to tighten the plug again and do this "loosen,tighten" deal until the plugs are removed. This can take a while so be patient.

-- Buy a can of anti-seize and brush a thin coat on the threads of the new plugs so that the new ones will be much easier to remove when necessary.

Hope this helps, if you need any other help. Just PM me.

Assuming you had found 1 plug, it had to have a wire on it. Now knowing that, you trace that wire back and find a distributor with 3 more similar wires attached, and follow those 3 back to the engine.
