This is my old service setup. I miss it but I'll build another shop one day. Used for a bit more than oil changes lol.

Changing the spark plugs huh?

My 62 Oldsmobile Starfire with a 394 CI engine and 10:1 compression ratio out of the factory certainly required a lift to change plugs. You had to remove the tires, and then remove a dozen or so screws to remove a panel in the fender well to get access to the plugs.
One of the few factory big iron luxury hot rods that came out in those years. The 1962 model year, had 345 hp. I got mine with very few miles on it after a Dr bought it, had health issues and finally passed. The family put it up for sale years later. Minimum 100 octane sticker on top of the air breather.

I wish I had something like that available. I pulled the upper and lower control arm from my pickup on the passenger side with a jack and jack stand in the grass across from where I live. Had to have someone change the bushings as after beating three of them out I was dead. Still have to do the driver side when I can have a few days in a row without rain again.

Chief if I had a shop or a place to keep them and was close I would take you up on it. Having none of that I have to pass.
