Are you talking about the drain cock? That is located at the lower right rear corner of the radiator.

no, i know where that one is. there is supposed to be another one. in my regular factory manual, it says drain rad. fluid through the drain on the radiator, and then the "rear engine coolant drain bolt". the latter is the one i need help finding. last time i replaced the fluid, i drained it from the rad. bolt, but there was still a ton left that leaked out all over the place when i took the 90 degree hose off.

im not sure where it is located on our cars but i know my last car had one. it was under the exhaust manifold i didnt even know about the plug till i changed a bad head gasket on it and wanted to get all the junk out of the block while my engine was open.

it should be close to the front of the engine like near our manifold but it is on the engine usualy close to the radiator.
