Help a blind guy drain
I must be blind tonight because I can't seem to find the coolant drain. I put off procrastinating as long as I could, but I need to install a 160 stat before I get a tune in the morning.
Can someone help a blind old fart find his drain tube. Don't even think it.

Thanks. I looked there before, but it just didn't seem right.
Is that a black plastic screw in plug just below the trans cooler lines? i.e. remove completely?
I was looking for a petcock, but I guess they aren't used anymore.

1/4" hex drive; turn it 1/2 a turn and coolant will come oozing out..

It's just as easy, in my opinion, to just loosen the thermostat housing and catch all the coolant there.

Thats what I did. Just make sure you have a large pan to catch the coolant.
