Sparkplug removal?
I've never had to ask this question, but has anybody got a tip on removing plugs in 1979 L82 350ci? The car has sat and is weak and missing on one or two. I could get to a couple plugs on left head, but can hardly see others.

I know it too well.
After pondering just how to get at all of the plugs I went shopping. Now I can get all of the plugs out in under 2 hours. And I have a Big Block, 1971 with air! I bought one of those sidewinder ratchet wrenches 
.. that in combination with a 1/4" drive ratchet and extension allows me to get them all out.
Oh and of course remove the front, right wheel and jack up high.
