Can you get a double-knuckled swivel socket adapter on it and still have enough twist torque available to loosen and tighten the spark plug?

honestly I seem to be lucky to touch it with the tip of my finger. There's definitely no space, atleast from up top, that I can get to it.

Find a 4th gen F-body forum or a 6-cyl forum. I don't think anyone here has ever even SEEN a 6-cyl. I know I haven't; I avert my eyes in shame whenever that might happen to me.

1/4" ratchet with a 1/4 to 3/8"adapter for the spark plug socket.

If you can get your finger on the tip of the plug, you can get it out. Get creative and get after it.
