Where is the drain plug for engine coolant on Delta 88?

I found the radiator drain, but can't figure out which plug (bolt) is for the engine coolant.
Thanks

You mean to drain the coolant out of the engine block? There used to be petcocks on either side of the block, right above the oil pan. But I don't know if they still did that in '84.

Thank you Oldsfan. I will be under the car today and when I am changing the oil, i will look for it. I guess I need to get a manual for the car if they make one.

I changed the radiator fluid and now it wants to overheat. Could that be an air bubble in there?

All is fine now. I bought a mechanics manual at the auto parts store. I will get the other manual because the one I have does not have all the info.
