Default Call me stupid

I can't find the spark plugs in my 95 xj6. I did get the starter changed with some great advice in my other post. So anyway it turns over and I got a slight fire like it wanted to start then nothing. I get a little bit of a gas smell but it won't start. The car has sat for 8 months so I put some heet and some stabil in the tank along with a gallon of gas. I took the chrome cover off the side of the engine and there is the exhaust manifolds but I don't see any spark plugs same thing when I look under the fuel injection rail.Maybe i been with Chevies to much and I feel like a fish out of the water. I am also to cheap to buy a service manual so here I am asking you guys where the freakin plugs are. I really need to get this car started so I don't have to hear from my wife the ( I told you so). This is my first jag and even though I am having problems I am still having fun. Thanks Rick

Likely not the plugs. But I don't work on the old stuff.

before you put spark plugs in.. drop couple drops of oil in the spark plug hole in the engine.. then install plugs.. and make sure battery is charged well.
