Hey Tom, have you thought about writing a book?  Seriously, with all the AMC specific and general engine stuff you know, I'd be first in line to buy it.

<<on the drivers side of the block, above the generator, is a 1/8" NPT plug, i think between cyls 1 and 2 or 2 and 3. down low, but above the oil pan. pull that -- it drains the block>>

Is it the plug that fits a 7/16" socket?  I'm afraid I might break it off!  I squirted some Kroil on it for an overnight and will try to pull it tomorrow.  Thanks!

i dont know what the factory stuck in there, i thought usually those stupid square-haded jobs that always shear off.

if you break it off, no big deal, since it will shear the head off and leave the hole plugged.

one would hope.
