Could someone show me where my spark plugs are? I am thinking of changing them myself?
I Don't Even Know Where My Spark Plugs Are! Can Someone Show Me?

Well, if you look on top of the heads, there are two bolts holding a little cover that says 32 valve DOHC or something, don't remember exactly. Take them off, and you will see where the spark plugs are. However, if you don't have a gapping tool, than don't attempt it.
What's a gapping tool?
Are you serious?...If you are,I suppose we all have to start somewhere..I would find it hard to imagine you doing anything to the car requiring a plug change(pully swap,nitrous)..If you haven't ever messed around under the hood of a car,a Cobra's probably not the best one to learn on...Pick up a Haynes manual from the local parts store & start reading..Find a local Mustang club & meet with fellow enthusiasts in person.It's better to have some 'back up' when doing something technical for the first time.
Ummmm, maybe you shouldn't do this yourself. You don't want to mess this up.:??:
not to mention stripping the threads in the heads, be very careful with the aluminum. better get some help
Also, if in fact you are that unfamilier under the hood, be dam careful putting them back in. remember the plug holes are only 3 THREADS deep they will strip out very easily. Not to criticise. I would advise you not to try. Fred
please dont feed the trolls
Is it really three threads? I hope you were just kidding and making a point about not torquing them too hard.
I am not a troll. Look at my post count. Also, I DO own a Cobra, and I just finished putting a KN FIPK on. I am just asking for help on where the spark plugs are and what a gapping tool is. There is no reason to accuse me of being a troll.
I guess you're serious
When most of us see a post such as yours, particularly on this site, it's only natural to assume that somebody is kidding.
And if your not, you definitely do not want to screw around with the spark plugs, especially on this Cobra. It's somewhat of a risky venture even for experienced people.
There are only 4 threads tapped into these heads for the plugs and another thing if your extension happens to come off the socket it's not the easiest thing to get it out.
A word to the wise is sufficient.

wow......you better not touch your car. Watch someone else do it and LEARN! these are not cars for first time do-it-yourselfers.
Pay some one.....don't do it yourself.....especially if you don't know what a gapping tool is!
I live in San Diego , Southern California. Where should I go to get this done? I'm willing to drive very far as long as it gets done right.
Go to your local SVT dealer and get it done. If you can't do it yourself this is the best place to have work done. That way if something gets screwed up they will probably warranty, or fix it. If Joe's garage does it, well :shrug:
No. I wanted to upgrade my plugs. Like to Brisk probably.
Cool. Thank u!
