Hey guys,
I bought a Kats brand coolant heater for both my 83's, and Im trying to figure out how to hook it up. I know enough about it to know that you cant just hook it in line. The issue is, the block drain that I know of is on the drivers side, and all the other hoses I need to tap into are on the passenger side.
Is there a block drain on the passenger side too?
HELP. My truck no likey starty. Been in the single digits here for a while. :dunno

What does the block drain look like? I'm going to flush the system before I add the new coolant? What sort of fitting am I looking for?

It's just a pipe plug near the bottom of the block. 1/4" if memory serve me.
