All I can say is get the motorcraft double platinums, remove anything in your way, and be careful when installing so as not to damage the insulation. Also make sure you torque them correctly.

Start with the #8 Rt. rear plug. It is usually the most difficult to do so do it when you are fresh not when you are tired. Also get a piece of vacume line to use when starting the new plug. Just slip it over the end of the plug and use it to get the threads started by turning the line to rotate the plug. You may want to remove the rubber insert in the plug socket when installing the plug as it may cause the socket to be hard to remove after installing the new plug.

I suggest doing a search of the forums for this information. I believe it was Racerguy who posted a very comprehensive set of instructions dealing with this subject.
If you can't find them, I have copied them and can repost, or email them to you.

On edit: Go to this link.
