Hi,

Might be better asking this in the appropriate forum me thinks..

I suspect you are looking for a drain plug that is near the rear of the engine and connected to the pipe that runs from the water pump to the firewall.
Easily accessible from under the engine..

That drains the radiator, not the block.

The drain tap is on the carb side of the block towardsthe back of the engine.

Should read "oil filter" Not "tep" should read "tap"
