Well, I've been working on my 79 Limited and I'm coming up with all kinds of problems. First being that I can't get the oil drain plug out as it is on there solid. I've tried the pipe trick, 6 points and 12 points, blowtorch to heat it... and it just won't come out. What are my choices?

Damn, I' say get some PB Blaster, a breaker bar, a longer pipe, and a rubber mallet. Eat your Wheaties and keep at it.

Take it to a quick change place, and let it become their problem. If they strip the threads, they will buy you a new oil pan....

I can hook you up with another 79' oil pan. I'm not too far away from you eaither. also its not TOO hard to change the pan in the car.

BP Blaster did the trick!! Rock on guys, man oh man was that plug chewwwed up by the pipe-wrench that finally free'd her. (24" long wrench lol). Here's a picture, I know it's bad, but hey it's from my phone.



Lol,... of course, now I found out that my metallic fuel line is bad, so she's not up... yet *sigh*

It looks like you went to town on it.

That's to illustrate the amazing amount of pressure I had to put on the damn thing just to get it to move.

definetly oil change time, and time for a new plug. haha. glad you got it off tho dude

Already done, I have a spare 12a just sitting in my barn (just chilling... lol) so I took the plug out of that, and changed the filter and gave her 5 quarts of 20w-50 GTX. Now to work on the fuel lines as a piece of the metal fuel line leading from the tank just came off inside the rubber hose leading to the fuel filter when I was going to replace it. Blehh
