yep absolute hell and then the length was off when i had em in the plastic guide/holder.
so with the ebay longtubes will i need differant plug wires? i hope not.
to the orginal poster, do the drivers rear from the bottom, its pretty easy from the bottom the passenger side is all bottom except the one the alternator blocks

 

woh you have a 56 olds. i had a 56 super 88 2 door a long time (in the 80s) ago. still have a window for it in the shed if you ever need it. cant remember if its the windshield or back. had to rebuild the motor in it. that thing got up and went. overdrive auto to boot. got any pictures?

 

Mine is a 4 door but i love it. I got a few pictures up in my garage, but they are not that great. These things have some history as far as being hotrods. I had never heard of a 50's olds being anything more than a luxury ride until I got one. There is a small company that is run mostly by one or two guys I believe that makes any speed part you need for these things. That includes high flow aluminum heads, roller rocker kits, custom cams, lifters, and transmission conversions (they makes bell housings and flywheels that can hook up to muncie 4 speeds and tH350/400's). Their website is rossracingengines.com

 

woh,,, the pictures are to big. need to size them down. 640 on the big side.

 

Oh my bad i didnt even realize they were like that until now lol.

 

I reposted them smaller.

 

with Pacesetters, the only difficult one is #6. You can get it from the bottom or laying horizontally on the engine.
Without Pacesetters the passenger side was dang near impossible

 

when i changed mine it took about an hour but that #6 i just keeped droping it luckly i had a magnet
