Found a new tool to get to spark plugs

[jleilich]

I have the edlebrock heads on my cuda, with hooker comp headers , (not super comps) and some of the spark plugs are impossible to get to.
I bought a set of Gear rachets about a week ago. If you have seen these , its a rachet set and it eliminates the need for deep sockets by allowing the bolt to pass through the whole thing. Wether or not the quality of this tool is up to par or not, i really dont care, (it is sold at sears, and has a lifetime warrantee) but i can get the socket and ratchet over my spark plug and tighten it with these.
they sell a few different things , I have their ratcheting combination wrenches and i admit I love them and like them better than the craftsman, and they are cheaper. when i went to Maple Grove this year, the Mac tools guy was selling some of these, so they must be good if sears and Mac both sell this stuff. the ratchet set I picked up only cost around 25 dollars i think. cant beat it if the tool works.
thought you all might like to know

just changed plugs on my 440 w/stock heads and 1 3/4" hedmans. 3 & 7 are nearly impossble- could have used your little too there!!

I had to take my sparkplug socket and cut an 1/8 off each end on a lathe so I could get it on the #5 & #7 sparkplugs on my 340. The Hedman header tubes made it impossible with a standard length spark plug socket. I just cut a combination wrench in half and use either end to turn the socket.

Those gear rachet wrenches do come in handy on certain jobs where you have very little room to work.
