Sure would save a lot of time searching. Thanks, brody ============================== Brody, The coolant drain plug.."on the block".. is under the ignittion bypass valve.

Thanks for the explicit direction and interesting way of spelling "ignition", but I still couldn't find it so I drilled a hole next to the ozone modulating compensator pal-nut.

fer Chrissakes BE CAREFUL under there............

the canuter valve is right next to that pal-nut, and right behind it is the barfennoodle assembly

hit either one of those with your drill and you're a goner !

If it's like all the other GM products I've owned it doesn't make any difference if you know where it is. Cause you can't get there from here. GM figures that you won't need to get at them unless the engine is hanging on an engine stand.

jesus christ, they are RIGHT WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN ON ALL 90-DEGREE GM 'V' ENGINES SINCE 1955.........RIGHT ABOVE THE OIL PAN RAIL ON BOTH SIDES, CENTERED FRONT-TO-BACK

There might even be a knock sensor screwed into one!

Oops, I already drilled that hole. (:-)) Seriously, thanks Gary. If I hadn't of been so damn lazy and considered typing easier than crawling around under there I probly would have found them and avoided this whole thread.
