More Brick Questions 200 1983

Well I got my water pump replaced finally - the timing belt looked to be in perfect condition so I decided to hold off on that a bit. I figured out that I really didn't have a bad alternator instead it appeared that my father had losened the alternator pivot bolt and never tightened it up again (he was bad off the last few months before he died.) so a few simple cranks helped that whole problem.

However I have two spark plugs. 2 and three which are stuck in the head. I can't get these puppies loose at all. Any suggestions on something I could buy that might help losen them up? I suspect electrolsis (Not sure on the spelling there.) as I doubt anti sieze compound was added to the plugs before they were stuck on in.

I'd rather not break them off, however using a torque wrench I broke two sockets in my efforts.

So suggestions on any wonderful chemecals I could purchase that might help me out?

Jeff
