I posted a question about my car before but can't find it. 89 mustang 2.3 liter won't start when its cold, new battery and iso heat to fuel line still a no go in below zero.
I bought a plain block heater, that attaches to the lower radiator hose. Simple enough, I watched my dad replace a broken flush fill cap on another hose. Snip, insert, clamp. But, since it is a radiator hose, and a lower one, I need to empty my radiator fluid, correct?
How do I go about that? My useless dad said something about a wingnut on the corner of my radiator, and I think I found it but it is facing vertical, and I don't know if it would make a mess. I am working on finding something short but big enough to empty it into, and I know I will need new radiator fluid, but any ideas? Its in my driveway, surrounded by about 4 inches of ice, so getting under it is going to be a hassle, and I can't move it to ramps or anything because it won't start. That and I have no idea what to cut the hose with... please help me. I feel stupid.
