1941 Packard 120 - engine block cooling system drain plug
#1

I was flushing the cooling system on my 1941 Packard 120, and the engine block drain plug is stuck.
I do not want to completely round off the square plug head or break the plug.
Is there some method(s) to free the plug?
Or, is there another way to drain or flush the block without removing this plug?
Thank you, in advance, for any thoughts or advice.
Jim

The later engines replaced that plug with a drain cock. You may try some targeted heat on the plug head.

One of those inductive heater things would work good.
