Will performance spark plug wires mess up non performance spark plugs?

No. The better performing spark plug wires will allow more voltage to get to your non performance plugs and may make your non performance plugs fire just a bit better. This is due to less resistance in the spark plug wire and the wire may be of a larger diameter and this too allows more voltage to flow to your plugs. When you install the plug wires make sure to buy some spark plug boot grease and put some inside the boot where it snaps onto the spark plug head. This grease keeps the boots from sticking or bonding to the spark plug head. It makes it easier to remove the plug wire from the plug. Make sure the plug wire boot snaps onto the plug head, and only change out one wire at a time. If you pull all of them off, you better know what order they go back on. So take one off, get one of your new wires and hold the new one up to the old one and make sure you have about the same length wire and put that one on. Then pull another one off and do the same thing.

How do you change the spark plugs on a 1989 4.3 s-10 and where are they?
you need to buy spark plugs and spark plug wires first. Buy a spacer so you can replace the spark plug back into the hole correctly. First, take the spark plug wires off the spark plugs BUT NOT OFF THE DISTRIBUTOR CAP!!! Then, put the new spark plugs in using the spacer and ratchet. It doesn't matter which spark plug goes where. (wrench, pliers, whatever). Next replace ONE WIRE AT A TIME so as not to mess up the firing mechanism. Make sure you replace the wire in the exact position as the old one was. Otherwise, if replaced incorrectly, the engine will fire each piston at different times. Then, start the engine. If your engine starts to gurgle or sound funny and vibrates, that means you have incorrectly replaced the wires and you need to switch the order of the wires. If the engine is running properly, good job!

Where are spark plugs located on 2003 Chevy Malibu?
Right at the end of the spark plug wires, near the top of the pistons. The stock spark plugs have a long "boot." The spark plugs are under the boot. When you pull on the boot, be sure to grab the metal clip underneath so as not to separate the clip from the spark plug wire. Also, only change one at a time so as not to mess up the firing sequence. Good Luck. Also you may need a flashlight and a real long arm to get to the ones on the back, v-6 right?
How can I get a 2005 Ford Taurus 3.0 liter Engine Diagram so as to remove the air intake manifold to change the 3 rear spark plugs?
If you have long thin arms like me, then you should be able to change the plugs by removing the plastic fascia that is below the windshield wipers. That should give you just enough room to maneuver. No need to mess with the air intake. I successfully changed my plugs and wires this way, but do not start taking apart your wires and plugs until you are sure that you can reach all of them first! You will also need a socket wrench extender to get the plugs out.

To what degree do you cut the spark plugs for a 1998 Chevy blazer?
This is a strange question. There are tapered electrode spark plugs that have an angle designed into them, but if you are a novice mechanic, I wouldn't mess with the electrode of a new or used plug. I wonder if you wanted to know the plug gap. Gap for a new plug is fairly forgiving and is usually set to around .040". Depends on your engine, and different gaps may be set by an experianced mechanic, for different performance caricteristics. Check your owners manual.
