I believe your 85 probably puts you with a 13b under your hood. I cant say for certain the location is the same as the 12a, and I hope for everyones sake they saw their error and moved it somwhere sensible. But if not,and its the same as my 12a was the task ahead of you is insanly more difficult than it should be.The freeze plug {one} is located on the back of the block behind the flywheel,{manual trans.}And to access and replace it I had to drop the tranny and flywheel. After attempting this with engine in the car only to discover I didnt have room enough to get the leverage on a giant breaker bar to remove nut on encentric shaft.{no air tools}I highly recomend you just pull the moter. Your going to be time and nerves ahead. Note: Only the 84-85 GSL-SE models had the 13B. GSL and GS have the 12A. Shouldn't be different either way.
There are actually no freeze plugs located in the block. The only freeze plugs are located in the cyl. heads front and rear.
Depends, which engine is in the 85, 13b or 12a?

The steel freeze plug is better than a brass freeze plug. This is because the steel freeze plug can withstand high temperature from the engine block. Moreover, the steel freeze plugs usually fit very well.
Steel or brass freeze plugs are the best ones,rubber freeze plugs are just for temporary

Locate the bad freeze plug and remove parts that impede the facilitation of reaching the plug. Take a screwdriver and hammer out the old plug. Replace the plug with either a regular plug (a socket that fits the inside of the freeze plug helps) or a rubber expanding freeze plug.
take a large screw driver and a hammer tap the old freeze plug in the block,replace it with a rubber freeze plug.tighten the rubber freeze plug with a wrench..the metal freeze plug that you pushed inside the block will not hurt anything..hope this helps!!!!
