Spark plug wire number 7 (or 8)

[Print Bear <prntbear@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I managed to squeeze my hand between the steering column and the 
various linkages and was able to change that plug and get the cap back

done and realizing that without a divine act the last 25% won't be 
possible unless you have a lift.
