did you get a new gasket with the drain plug?

OOPS sounds like the retainer is messed up. Hope not. Does the plug tighten up ok. If yes use a copper gasket under the nut. And whatever you do do not strip it out or break the inside retainer. They have a nasty habit of cracking then you are screwed!!

idk it tightens up pretty good i know it has a oversize bolt i did put a plastic washer on it it leaks a little. one bad thing is the motor in it is a 1972 ford 302 block so the oil dip stick goes thru timing chain cover not the block it has a foxbody oil pan .
