HOORAY!! Success.

Light drilling + hammer and a pin punch + needle nose pliers = SUCCESS!!

I managed to get the bolt out...threads in the block look OK. The non-gauge dummy light oil sending unit that I have temporarily seems to screw in correctly.

ROCK!

Now I just have to wait for the new 45 degree angle adapter to get here and we're back on the road (after an oil change).

Thanks so much for the help, guys!

PS - from the oil sending unit hole in the block...does anyone know where possible metal shavings would go? Would it go to the filter or to crucial parts? Just curious.

Thanks again!
