Default 1979 Mercury Capri coolant plug

Hi, I have a 1979 Mercury Capri, and I want to replace the coolant. However, I can not find the radiator drain plug. I looked under the radiator, and I still can't find it.
Question: Where is the radiator/coolant drain plug on a 1979 Mercury Capri? (Please be a specific as possible)

if it's in the same spot as the mustang which it should be... looking at the motor it should be on the bottom left. try leaning over the front and looking down it's on the side, not the exact bottom
