The petcock is behind the grill.Remove the grill and you will see it on the ps near the bottom.

Much easier to drain by removing the bottom rad hose at the water pump. Search "coolant flush".

One of these rubber thingys attached to a garden hose really works well. Flush the heater core, engine block/head and rad separately so crud from one doesn't go to the other. Sorry, I try to attach a pic and manage attachments just sits there and grinds. Now it works.
