You will need a breaker bar to turn it over unless the plugs are
removed. You will be spending alot of money to have a shop work on that
old car.

Yeah, I do still remember the advice about pouring Pepsi, then
penetrating oil into the injector holes, and all the other advice on how
to troubleshoot this thing. Appreciate it all.
To answer the question: I believe we used a 3/4 in. drive w/o any
breaker. Dave is an average-to-above average strength guy and he pulled
on the thing for a coulpe seconds with moderate effort, and it didn't
budge.
Because of the situation we have, however, it looks like I'll just have
to take it in to a shop and let them do it. (Brother has become too busy
to look at the thing - and I can't because it's 1500 miles away from
me). So my current plan is to go to have it towed to a recommended
mechanic in Tucson and get their ananysis.
I'll keep y'all updated. Can't wait to be driving this thing by spring
time.
