Spark plug problems w/ lt1 Every time i have questions i post under this forum(LT1-LT4 mods) lol, i hope this the right place to be posting. Anyway on my lt1 i have hooker headers. They get in the way of 2 spark plugs, meaning my standard spark plug socket cannot fit onto the spark plug. I found this fbody specific socket

apparently it can get every spark plug removed without taking the headers off. Anyone have similar experiences?

that shorty socket will work....few places make "header" sockets
or...just take a standard plug socket, cut the head down some (where you put a box or open wrench on) and cut out one of the 5 sides of the socket. Now the socket will "drop" down over a plug, slide it forward and then use the open end wrench to turn it lose, then take out rest of way by hand
$3 socket & dermal and grinder you are set

I just took a standard plug socket, cut it down short, drilled out the center so the plug fits through and put it on the plugs. Use a wrench and get them out. Basically what they sell but I did it for free.
