[Shotimes] enthusiasm...

[Carl Prochilo]

Normally if people go to the trouble of doing a 60K, plugs and wires are
typically changed.  How do you know you need to change them?  But to
answer your question, the most straightforward way to get the rears off is
to pull the intake (bed o' snakes).

Other than that, it sounds like a great car.
