Three yrs ago nice hot day for a beer run in my 1923 Ford, almost there, on these
the drain tube is on the bottom of the tank. Well this tube came undone from the
bottom of the radiator and the fan grabbed it and yanked it out. Now stuck. so I called
the wife for water. I carry wooden matches to light my cowl lights. I broke some matches up and shoved them in the tube holes. By then she showed up filled up with water and
like a wooden boat they swelled up. Made my trip. made short took radiator out tried to
soldering, no luck no room so hardward store 5 min. epoxie. 3 yrs no leaks......
