 Try using a Crows Foot.  This will effictively lenghthen the arm of your lever and torque adjustments will have to be made, but there is a table for it and I'm looking for it as soon as I am done here and will attach it.

OK, no table.  Just a formula.

Tw = (Te x A) / B

A = Lever length of wrench

B = Lever length of wrench plus extension

Te = Required torque on bolt

Tw = Torque reading on wrench dial

You can do the math or bypass it entirely by simply placing the crows foot on at a 90^ angle.  This will add 0 effective lenth to the arm of the wrench and you can simply read directly off the dial.

 

Attached is the first picture of a Crows Foot set I found for explanation purposes.
