The vehicle listed above is the Sport model. Where are spark plugs located at on driver side? I found the passenger side no problem.

Hello, can you follow the spark plug wires on the driver side from the Distributor cap to the spark plugs? There are small heat shields that the spark plug wires run into, and the spark plug is inside the heat shield. They shouldn't be too hard to find. You also need to install Resistor type spark plugs on this vehicle, I'll post the part number for them.
Is there a large heat shield on the driver's side for the exhaust manifold that may be blocking your view?
