In Topic: Troubleshooting cooling system

21 December 2015 - 03:32 AM

First thing I would do is replace the radiator. Second, go buy a hand pump with the red hoses, tape the outlet so it can't blow the hose off. Put three gallons of coolant in a clean bucket. Get appropriate pipe fittings for your upper hose and an extra top hose you can cut to fit another fitting. Get the nose of the car as high as possible. Make sure you have the inlet and outlet (pump hoses) submerged and pump coolant into the engine. You'll see bubbles in the bucket, when they quit you're good. Attach the top hose and top off with coolant.
