Heat Shields
May sound like a basic and dumb question but decided to install new spark plugs in my stock 80, left side no prob but cant's get the right side , the rear lower heat shield is unbolted, removed the wiring from the starter for clearance but to no avail, dont want to remove anything I dont have to but looks like the dip stick tube is in the way. Any help would be great, also best way to reach the front two on the right side, seem to be well hidden, all the stock hardware is in place so space is limited. Any suggestions would be great.

Have you tried to get to them from the bottom by reaching up into the engine bay instead of reaching down into it?
While I have not changed the plugs on my 1977 yet while I had it up on a lift I noticed it was much easier to get to the plugs from the bottom and reach up to remove them.

Thanks MakoJoe but I am trying to get them from the bottom, no lift but up on stands, the left side was no prob, but the right side rear lower heat shield is the prob, the front has no lower shield and think the removal may have to be by feel can barely see them.
