Doing the winterizing myself, I found 5 of them but I thought there were 6 plugs (3 per side)? Or am I just crazy?

Should only be two places that actually drain the water from the block, one on each side in the middle. One likely has a flared hose fitting for water pressure and the other a petcock or actual plug you can remove.

That would be "block drains" only. He's also got to drain the exhaust manifolds, circulating pump and raw water punp. The older 502s did not have drain plugs on the raw water pumps. You needed to pull the hoses.

And a special note to the OP, make sure you run a zip tie / coat hanger / piece of wire into the openings after you pull the plugs - particularly the block drains. Sediment will occasionally plug the openings even after you pull the plugs.

There should be one on each side of the block, one on each exhaust manifold and one for the cool fuel.. That would make a total of 5! Your not crazy!!

What year do you have? What is your engine serial number?

Yup....... the 1 cool fuel drain on the port side of the engine

The way it was written eluded to the block, which is what I commented on

Thanks for the tips guys, helps me out quite a bit!

LakeDude - I have a 99 Baja 272, original engine.

Like said above you have 5.

The year you have is the cool fuel system, Had you had an older non cool fuel system you still would have had 5, but the 5'th one would have been in the power steering cooler with a brass plug.
