need new oil pan

[Mike Robinson]

I stripped my drain plug about  a year ago.  i thought i needed a new
pan as well.  i was informed that you can get an oversized drain plug.
i bought one for about 2 bux at pep boys.  The threads are thicker and
it is very easy to install.  i have had absolutely no problems since
then.  i believe the thread pattern is 14x1.5.  hth
