For what it is worth, it takes me about 30 minutes to remove the plug wire,
remove the old plugs, gap new ones, replace them all, and re-install the
plug wires on my son's 1996 Eagle Vision 3.5L (same engine and basic car as
the Intrepid). It is not a difficult job since everything is readily
accessible from the top. All you should need is a 3/8" ratchet, 12"
extension, and the appropriate deep well socket with the foam spark plug
insert.

Replacing the wires though takes a little more effort to re-run everything
and shield them properly.

It's too good; too fast to do a good job.
