Just know that the stock spark plugs are 14mm, not a typical spark plug size. Oh and use something somewhat soft like wood between the jack and the oil pan if you use a jack to raise the engine.

The bolts that mount the spark control unit and the on plug coils both are 10mm. You'll want to jack up the engine prior to taking off the spark control unit.
