ok i started to do the spark plugs on my gen 1, i did the first two on the driver side but the two in the rear driver side i can't get to. How am i supposed to do this. i tried searching for any information the spark plugs on a gen 1 but can't find any article on it. i have put the de-electric and anti-seize, so i know about that, also i cant figure out how am i supposed to attach the boot back on the spark plug i tried pushing it in and it still is loose. any suggestions
 
I dont see why you cant get to them, its all the same. The boot just pushes on, try more grease?

you have to remove the intake tube to get to the rear on the drivers side. You need a small 1/8th ratchet. If you don't have that use a vice grips. Its on the back part of the intake tube theres a dimpel there that you have to unscrew to be able to remove the intake tube.

If you have your engine cover on there, you have to remove that too to first get at the intake tube.
 
yea the boot keeps getting pushed out, though some have gone in right, and im talking about the driver side spark plugs, the spark plug is under some stuff i will try and show where when i get time, right now the car is running with 6 new sparks and 2 old. Do the boots have to be tightly on or can they be little loose?
 
Then maybe take the stuff off?

I think this is the first time I have read about someone having a hard time doing this.

Worked on cars before?
 
You have to unbolt the passenger side nuts that hold the bracket that the two black selenoids is that what you mean? Use the spark plug wire boot to remove the old plug if you don't have a rubber hose or spark plug socket
