according to the pix, the plastic petcock is on the bottom/center, near the auto transmission cooler lines, just like every other radiator i've seen

some radiators, though, like my sis' 1997 cavalier, had no petcock & i just release the lower radiator hose and drain it out that way <shrugs>

Well It has no drain, Just pulled the lower rad hose. Does that mean my radiator has been replaced at some time in the past, with a aftermarket. http://repairguide.autozone.com/znetrgs/repair_guide_content/en_us/images/0900c152/80/06/20/ac/medium/0900c152800620ac.gif
