[V8Vairs] Coolant Fill (full)

[Dewey Thomas]

I'll just respond to the last message first-if thats' O'kay(grin). Jacking 
it up is a great way(Don);however, it may get quite high if the rad is 
laying horizontal  in the bottom of the front "trunk"

(VBG) Actually it is the complete Fiero drive-train,so it has the "proper" 
thermostat housing with fill provisions.

Ryan: see my discussion above with a horiz. rad--It would take a very tall 
funnel;then worry about 'leakage' when removing it;otherwise also, a great 
method.

Matt and Frank: That pump idea, with bleeders ,is very good and resolves all 
my other comments.
Now,I deliberately made the simple question,as to not taint the response 
with why I asked. I recently acquired  3.1 and 3800 engines from 
"conventional" front drive cars;that along with some recent conversations on 
another website,awakened the thought of how- to- fill when putting them in a 
Corvair. My thought is to install the Prestone type adapter in the hose at 
the highest point.  Now, I'll duck!! Questions?  Dewey
