I bought a new radiator for 100.00 and was looking it over before I installed it and couldn't find the drain anywhere. Any ideas?

Bottom of the radiator on the passenger's side there is a plug. Twist counterclockwise.

There is a drain valve on the bottom of radiator. Everything is black and so it may be hard to find. Get a bright light and go hunting. Since you have to remove the hoses anyway you could just slip the lower hose off and let it drain into a pan. Have a large one handy.
When you fill the new one, let it run awhile with the cap off because it takes awhile to push out all the air and you will need to top it off several times. I know because I worked at the factory where they were built.
Good luck

Loosen the lower radiator hose. Have a container handy.

you can always drain it through the bottom hose :)
