Well, after the SS heated up pretty good on the way home I decided I might as well drain the radiator and change the t-stat and cap to make sure the cooling system is ready for the next adventure. So naturally, the radiator petcock was put in off center and won't budge to come out. So I start to loosen the fitting it goes in that threads into the radiator. Cool, it starts to come out and I slowly turn it until I get a drip. One more 1/4 turn and plunk, it falls out into the bucket and I get a gusher of coolant down my arm! I had to hold my finger over it until it was dripping out slow enough to stay in the bucket by itself. Now you know why all my t-shirts are ruined. It ran down my arm and my back was soaked but I couldn't move my arm while I was holding my finger over the opening. It's drained now, but the fitting is still in the bottom of the bucket! Time for dinner now, then I'll go fish out that fitting.
