Here's another:
Installing dual IDF/DLRA manifolds is a major pain, but you can make it alot easier.
I cut a 1.5" hole in the fender well. These give me access to #1 and #3 spark plugs. They also give access to the front intake head studs.
I use special M8 nuts with a 11mm head.
Left to Right: 11mm, 12mm, 13mm
I use a 1/4" drive 11mm swivel socket on a 6" locking extension with a 1/4" rachet. All are made by S/K.
I first mount the carb onto the manifold and then bolt the manifold to the head. The rachet fits through the hole and easily tightens the nut on the stud.
