[Mgs] Coolant draining on an MGB

[wkilleffer at epbfi.com]

Hello everyone,The car I will be working on is a 1974 B with an 18GK engine. It uses one of those metal junctions that attaches a short hose tobthe water pump, lower radiator hose, and hose to the heater core. I will be replacing the radiator, radiator cap, all hoses, and putting in a 180 (or 185deg) thermostat. All the parts are coming from Vicky Brit. Unfortunately, I found out the hard way that the yellow so-called universal coolant doesn't work well with brass and copper radiators, which is why I'm doing this work. My engine has a coolant drain plug near the oil gauge takeoff near the back of the engine. However, I have never been able to get anything to drain out of it. I'm willing to have another go at it, but not expecting much. So, how do I get all the old coolant out of the engine since the coolant drain plug isn't functional, and since there will likely be water left inside the block, how do I properly dilute the green coolant?Thank you,-WilliamSent from my LG Mobile
