Spark Plug giving us problems
My friend bought an 88 E350 hoping to turn it into the van like the one on the movie Old School. It is getting very close, it is painted black and has the exhaust, now it just needs rims. Anyways, we are changing the sparkplugs and absolutely can not get the #1 cylinder spark plug in (maybe it is #4, the one on the passenger side closest to the bumper). There is just not enough room to do anything. Do you guys have any tips?

Didja try pulling the front wheel, and going in just above the control arm?

I can do mine without pulling the wheel using a couple of UJ's and some long extensions, still going in through the wheel well. If you peer in there with the doghouse off, you can see the plug clear enough.
It's still a hatefull plug to change LOL

It's a real bear to change... You really HAVE to go in through the wheel well, and it is indeed the #1 plug, watch the wire too, it's a bugger to get back on...
