Ok . Here is the latest. #3. Plug is now installed! I don't know about you other guys, but the combination of the headers, power steering hoses, dipstick tube, steering box.....I could not get the spark plug socket even on the plug. Anyway, I jacked up the front of the car. Put jack stands under the frame and went in from the underside. I was able to align the plug with the hole and ever so slightly turn the plug to get it started. I think I got lucky the way the threads lined up. Was able to screw in and then was able to final tighten with a 13/16 open wrench. The headers still presented a close situation but it's in tight. Tomorrow put the tray and battery back in and see if my skip and sputtering is fixed. If not then go for the fuel filter, the plugs needed changing anyway.
