I apologize.  I wasn't clear.  Although I've gotten plenty of good =
responses, everyone assumed I was driving a pre-75 Midget.  My mistake.  =
The car is a '75 and uses the 1500 cc Triumph Spitfire engine.  Only one =
carb, and it's on the opposite side.

Even still, I can't find a plug.  Anybody else have a clue?

Hey folks.

I've got a bit of a problem, and hope you can help.

My Midget won't start, it's something electrical, I believe.  Oddly  =20
enough, that's not the problem that concerns me, right now.  The
problem is, the cooling system only contains a small amount of
anti-freeze, and I'm afraid that the water may freeze and crack
the block.

I assume the best thing to do is simply drain the water, then wait till
warmer weather.

My question?  How can I safely drain all the water from the block and be =

sure there's none left?  I tried the lower radiator hoses, but the the
thermostat is closed, so that only helps half the situation.  Is there
a coolant drain plug on the block somewhere?
