If there isn't enough room to thread it in you can always use a short piece of pipe(nipple) and coupler to extend it outward... Also the ones used in most Ford V8 applications is round with vacuum taps spaced around it...
A pipe extractor will work better than an easy out. They are shorter, have more gripping surface and will not snap off like a hardened steel easy out. Not trying to endorse China but this kit is available from Harbor Freight for $9. Tap it in with a hammer and wrench it out...
Hey guys, thanks for all the great advice and help.... very much appreciated! And a big time thanks to Frank for sending me the part I'll need to make the repair. Wish me luck with the extraction....
