They are under the individual coils that are beside your fuel injector nozzles, on each side of the intake manifold.

For better performance, insert the plugs with the electrode up.

"JM_in_TX" Is correct. the coil hold-down bolts, are 10mm as well. Your going to need a pretty long extension, to reach the plugs too... and a flex-ratchet won't hurt to have either :-) The proper torque for the new plugs, is 20 Ft-lbs
All in all, its pretty straightforward. just don't forget to hook the coil pak's connector when your done with the individual cylinder....
sometimes the paks are a bear to remove... just twist (you can only twist about 1/8 of an inch when they are fully seated, because of the hold down stud) and pull up. you may have to use some silicone spray, if they are really stubborn....
I used a little bit of vasoline on the O-ring and the boot, to ease in reinstallation/the next plug change...
If you have any more ?s, feel free to ask!

thanks for your help daffydak.
the only other cars i have worked on had a conventional plug setup with normal looking wires. the tops were never bolted on. but i really appreciate your help.
as for the rest of you give me a break. i am just learning how to do these things and i really don't appreciate your remarks. is it really worth wasting you time typing that sarcastic remark.
your the kind of people that need to be thrown off this board so it can get its good name back

I opened the hood at the dealership before I bought my new truck & asked the salesman the same thing. He had to call a service tech.
Jeesh, looks like i'm gonna hafta get an A.S.E. certification for MOPAR if I want to do anything major... Like change the plugs or muffler bearings....
