Yeah, you know the coolest tool? Go to Sears and get a Craftsman spark plug
socket with the u-joint built into it. One of the best tools I ever bought.
Separate u-joints are okay too but if its a tight squeeze one or the other
usually falls off and that's a PITA!

TB and headers for sure.
As for the plugs, the back 4 are a pain. You'll definitely want
extensions and a u-joint for your socket wrench.
