Either turn the motor over with a large socket and breaker bar or bump it with the starter until you see the drain plug.

Have a buddy tap the key while you watch thru the access port. A few taps should get you close and a big fat screw driver should be able to turn it the last inch or two.

MAKE SURE THAT THE ENGINE CANNOT START. I would disconnect the distributor main wire or disconnect the fuel pump(s).

AN alternative would be to remove all the spark plugs and turn the engine by hand or big screw driver. It is much easier without plugs.

Good Luck,

Jim Henderson
