An African-American did NOT invent the spark plug.

Francois Isaac de Reviaz was a French born, Swiss naturalized, inventor who is regarded as creating the first hydrogen powered internal combustion engine in 1807 (patented). His combustion engine would've use an electronic ignition, which eventually lead to the creation of the spark plug. Etienne Lenoir, a Blegian, was the first to patent the modern day spark plug in 1886. Between these two events, there were several major influences in pioneering electronic ignition.

An African-American never did invent electricity. The man who discovered electricity was one of our own Founding Fathers, Benjamin Franklin while he was flying a kite with a key (made of more than likely brass or copper) tied to the top.

How do you change the spark plugs in a 1987 Chevy Celebrity?

To change the spark plugs in a Chevy Celebrity: 1. Give the spark plug boot a twist to free it up from the spark plug, then pull on the boot to remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug. 2. Use a 5/8" spark plug socket with an extension and ratchet or breaker bar to loosen then remove the spark plug. 3. Set the gap on the new plug to .045" then screw it back into the spark plug hole in the head. Tighten the spark plug and replace the spark plug wire. I change the spark plugs one at a time to keep from getting the spark plug wires on the wrong spark plug.
