Default Head nut under the distributor

A while ago a wrench was discussed to get at that pesky head bolt under the distributor. How many of you have the common Ford wrench that has one end for the plugs and the other end for the head nuts. I have several. I decided to make my own version of the reaching wrench to allow torquing the head nut, as well as allowing access to torque the head nuts or bolts under the oil filter on the early V8s. What better tool steel could be found? Pictured is a before and after of how I made my wrench. I did have to cut a 1/2" ratchet extension top off to add the 1/2" drive end of the tool. I used an end of a impact extension from HF. Some quick welding finished off the tool to attach the 1/2" drive end.
