Bill,
My engine came with a hex shaped plug threaded into this position.
I drilled and tapped the plug to accept a 1/8" NPT radiator drain cock fitt=
ing
avail from the local auto parts store.
I=A0also drilled=A0a small hole in one of the "ears" of the drain cock so t=
hat it could be
safety wired so that it does not vibrate open and cause a loss of coolent.
=A0
Jim
