"Simple"  open question to "this-here" group--: How does one "fill" the 
coolant system  when the radiator cap is below the top of the engine coolant top 
level--ala  Fiero? Please explain what parts or equipment is 
required--"how-to"--.

    Since this is the V-8 list I gather that you are  trying to fill the 
coolant in a V-8 Corvair?
 
    If so, the the upper radiator hose is probably the  highest point. Remove 
the hose and fill from there, carefully of course. You can  watch the coolant 
level in the engine by watching the thermostat housing.
 
    If you have any hard line that is a high spot you  can always add one of 
those bleeders that some cars have.
