Anyone Re-Tapped an oil drain hole? 200 1978

I believe the oil drain plug is 7/8" UNF. 1/2" pipe is 0.840 OD so
that a 1/2" pipe plug is not as big as the oil drain plug.
Do you have a spare pan?

It is hard for me to imagine anyone being strong enough to strip
the threads on one of those - I use a wrench about 16" long and
I'm not a big guy but not a weakling either, and it is usually
a pretty hard pull to loosen the plug but I can't remember one
ever offering to screw in any way but straight (once I clean it
up). I may be somewhat of a newbie - I've only been doing it for
35 years on a total of 11 different Volvos.
