please go to Pirate4x4.com and make sure you post this exact same thread on a tuesday.....

Do you even know what a sparkplug is or does? Because if you know what one is it should be too hard to find one on a 22r. Have you even opened the hood before?

just follow the plug wires from the distributor.

Then again, do you know where/what a distributor is? Heh.

Once you find em, you should make sure they are getting spark. To do that, start the truck, get a metal coat hanger, and remove the spark plug wires one by one and see if they work. Trust me, there is NO OTHER WAY to do that.

There is no sense in replacing perfectly good spark plugs, so test them by placing the tip of your tongue in the gap and get a friend to crank the engine. You'll know if they work.

By the way, here's how you find the plugs. Open the hood and you'll see a metal cover with 22R written on the end. On the drivers side of this cover (called the valve cover or tappet cover) there are 4 wires going into the engine above the exhaust manifold. Those attach to the spark plugs.

their IN the cylinder head(all 4 of em-in case you need to know how many and cant count) and its righty-tighty / lefty-loosey

sounds like you need to spend a few hundred dollars to pay someone to do the work for you.
