After working on the 616 engine and the 636, even taking out glow plugs from a 606 can be a challenge.
However, it was impossible to get the plugs out of the old Chrysler 1970-71 440 V8 on the B-Body. In the second year of production, they punched a hole and made a removable panel at the stamping plant, because the dealer mechanics and the race nechanics couldn't access them!
