Radiator Drain Plug

I drained my radiator today, and as I screwed the plug back in, it broke. Can this be replaced with an original plug, or do I need to get a repair plug.

You mean the "p e t c o c k" at the bottom? That's gonna prolly have to be
repaired at a radiator shop ... I think it's brased in there.

It's just plastic going into a plastic radiator side tank.

you can get those in the "help" section of your local autopart store. Most Fords use the same plug. You may need to yank the radiator to get the broken part out but the threads should be fine.
