The c-frame tool at HF is on a sale or coupon for $39. It works fine
for putting the new one in. For removal, you can make a bushing per
Jim Cathey's instruction or you can saw off the taper bolt and use a

like 1 3/8 socket.
Are you sure the HF tool works on a 107/115? I gather that the joint is quite
different from a 116/123/126 etc etc. The Samstag and Baum tools for those

White smoke from the exhaust indicates there is fuel present.
The older Dodges used an electric resistance heater at the air intake as a
starting aid.
With that knowledge, I wonder if using a heat gun at the intake would safely
help start a car such as yours.

The valves get tighter when cold, so if that was the problem I wouldn't have

Remove the hose from the air cleaner at the intake and aim a LIT
propane hand torch into the intake as you crank after glowing.
Unburned propane will explode the engine (literally blow the valve

to get it to fire off.

I've never seen the toasters glow. If they are, perhaps the plugs
