HELP!!! somthing very bad happened to a spark plug



Greetings all,

Well I have been cursed for sure first real problem with 86 4kq.  Anyone
ever had this happen to them?  Well here's the bad news, I was
performing a tune up this morning (plugs, wires 02s etc.) and on the 4th
spark plug broke off in the hole.  After much cursing, I figured I would
just go ahead and finish what I had started and limp it to a mechanic on
4 cylinders.  So what of course happened, the 5th one broke off in the
hole and the electrode fell into the cylinder.  

Now I am trully screwed.  The weird part is I did not even apply that
much presure at all the nut portion was rusted away.  And while I
applied anti seize on the first three I put in the last owner mech. did
not I guess.

So suggestions please.  Guess its time to seek out a mechanic.  Any
suggestions in the Stamford CT area.  In the mean time its back to the
84 coupe very ugly and very rough but hell it runs.

Thanks all,

John

P.S. what distance can one tow a q car without a flat bed truck?
