Default Anyone know what size or how to remove the plug in..
the passenger side head? Its not a 3/8" square, nor is it the 1/4" .. need to remove it to put in my autometer sensor... but i do not have a single tool in my arsenal that can remove it.. its just an odd size square female plug.

It is a 5/16" square drive. I got a driver socket from a Snap-On dealer many moons ago. They are quite common on many different GM engines, at least the older stuff.

Look through your 12 point sockets. One will fit it.

A piece of 5/16 square stock chucked in an 8 point socket works.
