Default Hey.

Can someone tell me the location of the radiator drain plug or petcock on my 1974 roadster? I'm ready to just pull the bottom hose. Thanks, Tom.

The one on my 78 is in that spot. FYI, you should post a more appropriate subject to get better attention to your issue: "Radiator Petcock Location - 74 Small block convertible" would be a recommendation. (assuming you have a small block, of course.)

The search function may help as well.

Good luck! Worst case, pulling the bottom hose will get the job done just as well. My new truck doesn't have a drain.
