There is a spark plug that is located behind the steering box. I can't get a socket on it. Does anyone have an idea for changing it?

I don't know if I can reach it from the bottom. I'll try tomorrow.
A previous owner dropped the motor in.There's almost no room. It has rams horn exhaust manifolds.

Accell makes a short-insulator spark plug for use with headers that might be an option if you can get them in the right heat range.
