Turns out that guy who had it before me had 7 and and wired wrong, so I swapped wires, and the things runs great. I cant get the drain plug out of the oil pan though. Any suggestions??
Thanks
Aaron

Aaron, You could get a 1911 Colt auto loader and drill a new hole. Problem is the exit hole and continuing to the outside would be messy.

I'd better think of something else. :-)

Thats about how I felt after I couldn't get it off. I'd try and impact, but I don't think there's enough room under there to get an impact it. That means I probably don't have enough room to drill it out either.

Sam a little maybe, I guess we need to get together and drive our trucks somewhere. I was just thinking he could get a fair size new drain hole with a 45 acp.

If it is an FE pan, use a 7/8 wrench. Good Luck.
