37 special 248 engine block drain

[dibarlaw]

I have searched all my old Torque Tube mags and my shop manual. The shop manual states that the block drain is located at the rear most cylinder. I have felt all over the block and have found nothing that low for a drain out. Now the rear freeze plug is leaking. I thought I drained everything 20 years ago. But I guess not. Since I am starting to work on it again I need to pull the radiator and have it redone. It looked perfect the last time I ran the engine(1991) But time marches on.

It's more than likely someone at some point in time has removed the T-type cock and put a plug in to it. On my '39, it's about 4" behind the distributer going toward the firewall and at the same level. I would imagine it would be the same for a '37.

here is the drain cock on my '38 320cid engine. it is located about cylinder six on the passenger side of the engine. I also have a drain cock at the bottom of the radiator.

Not sure if this helps you being a different year and engine.
