Radiator Fill

Hi all,

I'm replacing my hoses and thermostat this weekend ('73 Galaxie with 400), could anyone give me some tips on the best way to refill the radiator, so as to avoid air pockets and such?

Thanks

I always leave the thermostat out & fill the rad. slowly till I see it comming up into the thermostat housing. Then put the thermostat in & you will not have any air pockets.

some people drill a small hole in the thermostat to let air seep through, its small enough not be significant to water flow
