I have a 1985 with a bad front seal. Is the crankshaft bolt left or righthand thread?

Hi Frank.
Thanks for joining the forums.
As fas as I know, that bolt is a normal bolt. Turn left to loosen. It'll be seized up pretty bad though...they usually are.
Someone back me up.

He'll get it, don't worry.
Might take the use of an impact wrench, but they always come off.
If you don't have an impact wrench, get a socket on there and use a hammer to send some wicked vibrations into the ratchet handle and the socket itself. It'll come off.
