Replacing spark plug wires on 1995 Buick Riviera

I want to replace the spark plug wires on my 1995 Buick Riviera with Super Charger. Is there a diagram with instructions that shows how to replace the spark plug wires? I can readily access the three spark plugs on the side of the engine that faces the front of the car. However, ready access to the spark plugs on the side of the engine facing the firewall is blocked. How do you reach that side of the engine? What special tools might be required? What peripheral equipment must I remove in order to gain access to replacing the plug wires on the back side of the engine?

I look forward to hearing your reply.

Regards,

    Take one wire off at a time and replace with same length new wire. The drivers side on back of motor is the hardest in my opinion for lack of room. Always work on a cold car not warmed up to prevent burns from exhaust manifold.

You need to drain some coolant. Loosen and disconnect water lines by the firewall- the ones in the way of your wire change. u need to get a diagram of the firing order of the engine so that those wires are correctly connected to the coil packs.

Does supercharger work with regular Buick Riviera motor

Superchargers work with most engines but the engine has to be build to handle it or you will blow your engine. You can get a kit online to build the engine to handle it & install the super charger but costs are starting around $2000 and up.

Trying to change spark plugs

??? ...the spark plug wires are under a plastic guard. The plugs are lower - follow the wires. The ones at the firewall side of the engine are hard to get to...some suggest tilting the engine to access them easier...I laid on top of the engine and got them out.
