Inlet Heater Hose? (1 Viewer)

[letsride]

Hello everyone! Newbie on here. I have a 1996 Cruiser with a leaking radiator. I am looking to flush the system and replace the radiator.
can someone tell me which is the correct Inlet Heater hose coming from the firewall. I would like to tap into it and do a complete flush before replacing the radiator. I can't find the engine block drain plug either? Hanes manual wasn't helpful. Thanks!
