Just Drained Radiator - Cool/Antifreeze Smells Burnt?
I have a 93 FD, I just drained the radiator and the antifreeze/coolant smells burnt. Is that something to worry about?

I'd pay more attention to its appearance - did it look normal green color, or brownish like rust was present? If it was not clean, a flush may be in order.
