Default AU I6 motor general servicing questions

Hi Folks,

I have been trying to do a full service on my AU Fairlane. Oil and filter, air filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, leads, coolant and thermostat.

There are two things I'm not too sure about how to get done.

Firstly, the ignition leads. I figure the coil pack is somewhere under that inlet manifold, but I can't reach it well enough to actually be able to change the leads. I daresay there's some trick to gain access, so what's the consensus on the most efficient way to change the leads?

Also what's the most efficient way to drain all the coolant from the radiator, motor, and heater core? I would like to do a full replacement of the coolant as I don't trust the coolant it's currently running not as far as I can throw it. Will I get most of the coolant out[like as in 90% or more] by just draining out of the bottom hose, or do I need to do further to get all coolant out?

Thanks, Alex.
