Good luck
remove all the spark plug wires from the spark plugs. (mark them or make sure you have a service manual so you can put them back in the correct firing order



take a brush or compressed air and clean all the junk from around the spark plugs, (you don't want it falling into the engine when you pull the plugs)



remove the plugs iwth a spark plug socket. you might need a tune up kit. that includes a ratchet with a special elbow you need to get at some of the hard to get at plugs



just be careful you don't break a plug off inside the block. make sure the bolt part of the plug is well seated in the socket



installation is the reverse of removal. if you need more hlep working on that old ford visit www.ford-trucks.com. ltos of guys there will help your friends lincoln

open the hood and look to the lower left and right of the engine, you will see 4 wires on each side evenly spaced down the sides coming from the upper front of the engine. they will have boots on them, disconnect them one at a time from the side of the engine by simply pulling on them, be careful not to burn yourself on the hot exhaust manifolds. every time you disconnect one, you will see the spark plug below it. you need to use a deep 5/8ths socket to remove them, counter-clockwise is loosen. DO ONE AT A TIME TO AVOID CONFUSING WIRE LOCATIONS. once you remove one you can insert a new one and connect the wire to the top of it etc... if you think its too hard then just take it in to a shop, it will probably be cheap. some of the spark plugs may be very difficult to even see, much less remove without special tools.
