Re: Brass Magnets Clamping Screws
with all due respect, David, there is no good place to start to say where you have gone off the rails with this, so will simply post this and be gone. A #14 screw has a basic diameter of .242, regardless of thread pitch, and the Ford drawing says what it says, and that is why 1/4-24 screws will not ...

Re: Oil petcock help!
pull hard while unscrewing...it will come out
If it is not coming out easily, which it isn't, that means there are threads left in the pan to some extent.
Your choice in adhesives/epoxies once it's out, though you may find that a new petcock and fuel resistant teflon tape will work just fine.
