So I was putting the distributor back in and I noticed that my mark is off crap so I was doing spark plugs and jacked the car up and the wheel turned a little so anyone know how to line it up there is only two positions that will work I belive. Also is there a trick for the center spark plug on the drivers side?

Disregard the Last post turns out when you turn the wheel it doesn't change anything ha ha ha I just figured I did somthing wrong. The distributer finally slipped into the correct spot. But I need to know do I need to move the steering colum in order to get that middle spark plug out on the drivers side

#3 spark plug is usually removed by pulling the shaft out or...like I do, persuade it upwards out of the way. You only need like 1/8" to squeeze your extension socket past it.
