I just went out to look, and yes the drain plugs on both sides,(in the block just behind where the lower radiator hose goes into the block) do point straight down. also, it does have the 18 x 1.5mm threaded spark plugs in as well. I will look into the possible spark issue some time tis week. Also thanks for the links, I have no experience in dealing with these old cars, and all the people around me that did, have now passed on, so any guidance is a big help.
