Installing a forgotten oil gallery plug in distributor hole after engine in car 
--------------------
Bought a wrench from J.C. Whitney called the side winder in 1/4".
Bought a small, round mirror that would go down the distributor hole.
Had a powerful flashlight. Bought 4 5/16ths, long handled hex wrenches.
Heated the hex wrenches and bent the short end of the 90 degree angle
so I changed the position of the hex by about 10 to 15 degrees, then 15
to 20 degrees, then 20 to 25, then about 30 degrees roatation from the
original position. Put the mirror into the hole, positioned the light
to reflect some from the mirror onto the hole in the front of the
distributor hole about 4 1/2" deep. Put a drop of superglue onto the
square hex of the wrench and put the square into the hex hole, not
enough fore and aft room for the wrench plus a hex socket. The square
into hex is a tight fit. Stuffed a rag into the hole effectively
stopping anything from dropping in below the level of the galley hole.
Started the hex in the hole with some red lock tight. To much to try to
turn the sidewinder from the handle after it started to tighten. Broke
it free from the hex plug and used the bent hex wrenches to get a few
degrees of turn. Then the next bent hex, then the next until good and
tight. Removed the rag, voila! 60 lbs oil pressure cold, 40 hot and at
idle.
