To do that you have to remove the top half of the intake manifold.

Just saying, something seems unclear here. Is this a US car?  By that I 
mean a type 89 (aero) vs. type 85 (brick).

> - seems to have spark (checked with wire touching engine block)

Wire from where?  The spark plug wires on these engines won't let you do 
that, so was it the coil wire?  If so... check the dizzy cap and rotor. 
  How old are they?

In the middle of stripping an 89 90Q for the good parts to put them on 
the 88 90Q
