hi all! I'm a new member here, my father-in-law just gave me his 89 LE to use as a winter car ![Very Happy](https://www.gmforum.com/gm/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
It runs great except for occasional stumbling on acceleration ... happens especially when it'* humid...
I figure changing spark plug wires is a good start. But the wires for the front bank are clipped into a plastic shroud. I tried to open / remove it but I can't see how without breaking something. It'* wedged between the dipstick and valve cover. OK, what'* the trick? I tried searching but didn't find anything
Also - do I really have to pull the alternator to change the rear bank wires?
I guess I've been spoiled by the 5-minute plug wire changes on Hondas hahaha
BTW, great site! Lots of useful info here. TIA
