Passenger side spark plug install issues 
Okay, I've done a ton of stuff to my "01 Z-28 vert. And I've also changed a bagillion sparkplugs in my life.So why am I having such trouble accessing the passenger side plugs. The driver side was a pain in the butt. But the other side is like looking at a wall of parts. I tried going in from the bottom, not any better. Any suggestions?

Thanks Go Faster!
I'm printing out the sparg plug page. Still feels weird having to move the indiv. coil packs and what not. I'll give it a shot though. Hard to get enough torque on the plug socket, replacing originals, so they are in there boy, driver side took at least an hour or 2.

Yeah, the passenger side takes a while. The last bolt on the coil pack is tricky. I left mine off because I don't want to deal with it again. You have to go by feel on a couple of the passenger side plugs, but it's not too bad.

I bought a ratchet with a flexible head at kragens that gave
me the odd angle for the back passenger plugs.

Thanks all!
I had trouble buying the right plug-wrench. Which was part of my problem. I'm a little tall to fit under the hood like Davered))SS, so I'll have to put some serious back strain into it. Wish me luck!

I did mine without removing the coil pack......# 2,4,6, from up top, # 8 from the bottom. It helps to have skinny forearms, and it looked like I dragged them over a couple miles of barbed wire when I was done.
