Woot woot. Tune-up complete. Used AC Delco Spark Plugs, Autolite Wires, BWD Distributor cap and rotor button. Now my question here is, how many of you 94 owners find that third spark plug to be a pain in the **** to get to? Can you say, go up through wheel well, under steering shaft, into port and doing a short, one click turn on your ratchet until that thing was loose enough to turn by hand? That was a serious pain. Took me an hour to get to. Finally got it in though. Runs like a dream.

Glad you got it done! That #3 plug isn't a PITA on just the '94 engine, it's been the bane for all the Blazers. There's been a lot of discussion here about how to get at it without losing your religiion. Good job, now enjoy!

I went up through the wheel well under the steering shaft with two 3 inch extensions without a ratchet attached. Then a swivel ratchet and played with it until it came loose enough to attack via hand. And then put the new one in the 5/8 socket and hand tightened until I hit the point to reattach the ratchet. A few hard turns later and boom its in. Just connect the spark wire and you're done. But believe that not for a second I didn't swear a lot. Almost lost my hand prior to my religion.
