That's what i ordered from Amazon. Why is it called a "Starter Wrench"?

I believe that Wrench is to access Head Bolts for re-torquing after the Engine has been run for a Time. Goes around the Manifold to reach Head Bolts. I found the curved Wrench Ted was mentioning on Amazon. The Ends are turned opposite to the Wrench You pictured. Thanks for suggestion. I have that Wrench already. That wrench is shown on Ebay. It is for Head Bolts. The last Bolt on Exhaust manifold close to Firewall on left side is partially blocked by Manifold casting.

I have used a curved starter wrench which has a 9/16” box end on one end and a 5/8” box end on the other.

The last Bolt on Left Side Exhaust Manifold by Firewall is impossible to access with a Socket because of the way Manifold is Cast. Have to use a Shorty 9/16 Wrench to tighten it. Has anybody found a way to tighten it any other way? Can the Manifold be reshaped without putting a Hole in it? PITA when doing it with Engine in the Car. How much trouble is it to install Engine into Car with Manifolds already bolted in place? The Transmission is already in the Car. Just pulled the Motor.http://forums.y-blocksforever.com/uploads/images/85c9d901-b6c9-4e79-b276-0b18.jpg
