Bleeding coolant
I just replaced the heater core on my 1971 Ford F1 hundred with the in-line six. Do I have to bleed or burp the system? Or can I just turn on the heat start the engine and hopefully it circulates through.

Run it through one heat cycle. Check and top off once cold.

Thanks. The dang heater core had a leak that kept fogging my windshield.
