You all are lifesavers. Life would have been easier if I didn't interpret ECT and water temperature sensor as the same one but anyhow... As I have found other names such as Fuel Injection Relay is the same as the Radio suppression relay.

The **** Deep Well Socket (3/4") **** ~ worked perfectly ~ with the right extensions - not too long or too short. I borrow this socket wrench that bends funny and you can lock it 3 different angles that made it easier (also seemed do able with the right length extension to miss the bracket that the IAC mounts on.

The only thing now is I hope I got the Water temperature sensor/gauge sensor in tight enough I added some teflon as per FAQS, if that doesn't do it, I might add some high temp silicon b/c basically you can't tighten any more with a regular tool b/c the different parts of the engine block stick out in the just the right place to block you from turning it. It's about a quarter turn less than the original one that was in there.

Thanks again
