Looking for that "trick" setup of how you plumb your engine blocks to drain the anti freeze out of it in the springtime and drain the water out of it in the fall... I have a 73 Challenger and the LEFT header is RIGHT IN FRONT of the block drain and it KILLS ME to pull the pipe plug out of the block EVERY TIME i need to drain the block.. PLEASE SHOW SOME PICTURES of what you got?????? Thanks...

Sometimes you have to hunt around for them, but the cool ones have a provision to attach a small hose, which I then route out to the bumper area. More convenient, keeps from splashing the undercarriage, headers, etc.
