I've seen those wing-nut oil pan plugs before and believed them to be an "emergency fix" until such time as the pan can be either repaired or replaced. I once changed oil in a 50-something Chevy that had a hard rubber plug driven in the hole. When I got it out the threads were fine and I as able to use a new stock plug. Previous must have lost the plug and found something that would work.

Go figure... Glad you able to fix it Ken.

Thanks, Glenn. To say my grandson is pissed is an understatement at best.
