How to install SPARK PLUGS, WIRES + ROUTING KIT video – Chevy 350 GMC Squarebody [Wrench At Home]

In this video I’m replacing spark-plugs, adding a spark-plug wire routing kit, and making custom-length spark plug wires for my 1980 #GMC Sierra #Squarebody pickup truck with a Chevy 350 small-block engine. A relatively simple job which I am mainly doing because I don’t know when the last time that they got replaced was. The spark plug wires especially are looking a bit messy, draped through the engine bay like spaghetti.

I’ll be replacing the old spark plugs with new ACDelco R45TS and adding a Moroso wire loom routing kit for a neat and orderly install of the new MSD Street Fire plug wires. Another job that I can cross off my to-do list!

I hope you enjoyed this video and if you do, please like the video and subscribe to the channel to see future updates on my truck and other projects. It really helps out the channel. Thanks for hanging out with us!

Also something to note around Wrench At Home: this channel is for my own entertainment and my videos are not meant as tutorials. My channel is just a documentation of me working on my own personal car(s) and I can’t give any guarantees that the things I do will work for your particular car.

I am just a normal guy and by no means a trained mechanic (I design and build websites for a living). I try to do things myself while figuring out ‘the how’ with a little help from the internet. Please put any tips, pointers or extra info you can share with me in the comments of this video.

The gear I use to make these videos:
► I film everything on my iPhone 12 Pro Max
► I use a DJI OM4 gimbal to make stable shots
► I use a tripod with phone mount when my GF isn’t around to film, or for timelapses
► I edit the videos on my Macbook Pro using Adobe Premiere Pro
► I record my voiceovers in Adobe Audition using a HyperX Quadcast mic
