SHO Taurus owners watching this video will not need to remove the manifold since it is different. The back plug spark packs will be tight to remove and plug removal will need extensions with a short handle ratchet. A rubber hose around the diameter of your plugs will help removal and installation. I appreciate videos like this! Thanks!
