Default Petcock

Is it me, or is the drain petcock for a C3 in the dumbest spot imaginable. It literally has to dribble off of the radiator support before it hits the pan. I'm not sure if SB radiators are this way, but my BB radiator is.

Has anyone found a way to plumb this thing so it drains without making a mess?

I just drained mine yesterday and the LT1 radiator is a pain also. It dribbles on the front member.

:confused: I thought you were trying for Off Topic again!! I finally figured out what your topic is!! :lol: MJ

I dont have a problem with mine, usually have the front of the car up on ramps. May skip it this year since I cant flush the radiator properly (water restrictions). MJ
