unless your radiator is .. well, unique, it should be bottom-center on the engine-side. with a little clear rubber tube sticking down an inch from it. i forget if it was threaded or if you can twist either way while pulling, but either way mine was rather stiff when i had to drain a little bit of coolant to replace my engine temp sender.
