i was the first one to drive the new van. the day we got we went on vacation to delaware. guess who drove most of the way. the new van kicks ***. if the old van can tow my car i'll use it to take to the drag strip and road course. in case my car breaks i can just tow it home. i don't think the old van will be happy doing that though. the old can van could use a fresh block and some paint and then it would be perfect again. hmmmmmm.....................

Come now, changing the plugs cant be that bad, I have changed plugs on quite a few vans. You remove the engine box INSIDE the van right? Makes it easier. Depending on the van, you either take the engine out thru the passenger compartment, or you un-bolt, not cut, the header panel and grill out. You may have to take the intake manifold or heads off first, again- depending on the van.
