Please answer quick. My gal's with me and she thinks I know everything about these cars.
I cant imagine what your plug looks like .... from your words. Maybe give us a pic, eh !
BTW, if it is the ‘standard’ 3/8” plug OR per chance 1/2” inside hole, use either which size it is... then put a 3 foot cheater bar extension to break loose.

BTW, I just ran inro the first ALLEN wrench type hole in plug in my A.

Guys use cheater wrench, leg pressure to put those plugs in TOOO tight.... to try stopping them from leaking. DOES NOT WORK, in many plugs... mine included.

Try thread lockind tape or pipe dope. Afterall, it is a pipe thread !
