I'm thinking it is supposed to be the hose that comes out the back of the thermostat, but is there an easier one to get to, or does it work ok? And is there a trick to getting the drain plug on the radiator out? If I try to use a screw driver, I can't turn it cause it is sitting on the frame.

I guess the intern who designed it had a particularly bad day at Ford Go under the car and follow the metal pipes coming out from the rad on the right side. Find the joint where it ends and continues in a rubber hose (about 10" back from the rad). Pull the spring clip and pull them apart. (It's much more obvious if you see it). T.

You're saying this is where I drain it, right? Then do I put the TEE bteween the fire wall, and the thermostat housing?
