BJ:

Getting the air out of the system takes some time. As I recall (#2038 is gone to the other coast now), we jacked up one end of the car and then the other. Then drove it around the block (which meant up and down hills) to try and get the air out. It took awhile.

I had also run a small bleed (as in the original original cars) line from the upper right side of the radiator to the purge tank on the firewall/bulkhead. (ERA does this on the 427SC as a matter of course.)

Keep at it.
