Temp Fix: Break the top off of a spark plug. Should thread right in.

Ford has Screw in Plugs meant to replace that tube, they are like $5 at the dealer. But with the engine back in the car, it may not be so easy to get them in now.

I think it is. And what may help is that i think the plugs are allen key, so the key can drop in there and get you a bit more room.
