I can't find it !! Has any one seen a radiator without one?
Is there another way way to drain it without yanking the lower hose?

If it's like my '78, it's not a petcock like you're used to seeing. It's a bolt threaded in at the lower right corner of the radiator tank.

My '73 L-82 has the standard drain petcock on the passenger side bottom corner. It's the original radiator. Hope yours has one.

To my knowloedge the Harrisons came with drain cocks on the passemgers lower side below the lower hose. It may be a threaded bolt also. Aftermarket replacements of the cheaper kind don't usually have one. Modine is a good brand for a 3-4 core with a drain cock.
