I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

spec's from mitchell repair....

passenger side front to back 1,2,3

driver side front to back  4,5,6

firing order is 1,4,2,5,3,6

and the number one plug wire on the distributor cap is the first one right of the front lock down tab..

oh and the firing order starts counter clockwise
