also number the leads, so you don't put them back on the wrong plugs. If your rocker cover gasket is cork style replace it with a rubber one.

eb91xr6, looks like a great project, and it should come up great, to enhance your work grab a cheap degreaser and spot clean all of the area's around your rocker cover including the leads etc. Then you can use use things like a rubber and trim detailer to bring those items back to new look finish, take your time and ensure you have all leads / wires neat and tidy, the extra attention to detial will enhance the overall outcome.

Post us some after pics when your done.
