hhmmmm good luck. just kidding. the V6 should be the 2800 type 2 so here goes..... the front plug on each side is easy to reach with the socket and ratchet. the passender side needs about 2 feet of extensions with a swivel and you will actually be ratcheting from the top of the front fender to get it out. the remaining 3 need to be changed from under the vehicle with the socket and a box end wrench. its the ONLY way these will come out. Replace each one at a time so you do not get the wires crossed. Also its a good idea to get some wire connectors to keep the wires together and prevent them from touching the exhaust or the back of the engine on the drivers side. It took me awhile to figure this routine out, but have you priced a spark plug change for this car yet? You will thank me when you are done. david vol-dolfan@msn.com

How do you change the spark plugs in a 1987 Chevy Celebrity?
To change the spark plugs in a Chevy Celebrity: 1. Give the spark plug boot a twist to free it up from the spark plug, then pull on the boot to remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug. 2. Use a 5/8" spark plug socket with an extension and ratchet or breaker bar to loosen then remove the spark plug. 3. Set the gap on the new plug to .045" then screw it back into the spark plug hole in the head. Tighten the spark plug and replace the spark plug wire. I change the spark plugs one at a time to keep from getting the spark plug wires on the wrong spark plug.
