Kenyon,
There isn’t enough room for the
wobbly/U-joint socket between the end of the 13/16” socket and the
column. Tomorrow I’m going to look for a 13/16” plug socket
with a hex head on the end. I think I might be able to get a box wrench
on it from under the car. The T-handle tool might make the passenger
front a little easier though. I’ll have to see about picking one up
while I’m getting fresh plugs.
Thanks!

Subject: Re: IML: plug change
I suggest a wobbly at the socket with an
extension (that's the gizmo that's like a U joint for socket wrenches).
That or an extension that will take you out past the stering column?
I have one of those T handle spark plug specific
wrenches and it works great once you lean in and get your arm down under the
steering column. Should have them on the pegboard at the parts place for
$8.99 if you don't have one already.

I'm in
need of a little Imperial guidance here. I've been working on my '67
Le Baron trying to get it back among the living after its 15 year coma. The
Holley that was on it was pouring gas better than a full service pump. I've
pulled the Holley and installed a spare Edelbrock I had here, but I need to
change the plugs. Is there a trick to removing the rearmost driver's side
plug? The steering column coupler is in the way. I also notice the front
passenger plug caused some clearance problems with my ratchet and the upper
control arm hardware.
Any tips are greatly appreciated.
As fodder for the Haze Green Era controversy, couldn't the '67-68's be
referenced as the first generation unibody Imperial?
