The GTS/GTB cars must be more difficult than the GT4. I used a few short socket extensions. Place the spark plug socket in the cylinder head together with a 2" extension. Then add another 2" extension. and then another. Break the plug loose with the ratchet. Detach ratchet. Twist with fingers. Pull out far enough to remove 1st extension, then remove 2nd extension. After that, the plug/socket will come out. Took me less than 5 minutes for all 4 on the forward bank. The most time consuming part on the carb cars is removing the air cleaner. And keeping careful count of the nuts and washers to make sure none slipped down a carb throat...... Hans.
