Spark Plug Socket

1972 f100 302 3speed

Cylinders 3,4,5,6 i cant seem to get multiple sockets to fit on the spark plug, looks like the exhaust manifold is in the way, using pliers and a very thin spark plug socket that came with an old moped i got'um all off but #4....i guess i need to take the manifold off.....has anyone else had this problem?...even after i put the new ones in i still have to tighten with pliers, Thanks

Never had a problem with my 72 F-100 302 4spd changing plugs. I could climb right inside and do it with no u-joint sockets. Plain stock.

Makes me wonder if someone didnt put the wrong plugs in it. Did you have the parts store look them up by application or just take them the # off of an old plug?
