1963 Dart 170 2 Door Post Resto
Cooling system flushed. Used the heater hoses and picked up a male and female hose connection and put one on either hose. Then I booked up 2 hoses... One from the supply with a shutoff (to much pressure would push past the rad cap... Trust me I know), and the other out the door for run off.
The run off hose was still a little frozen do it took a bit to clear out but then nice rusty color water started to flow. As it opened up I opened the valve a little until I got a nice stay flow. Ran the car for about half an hour until the water was pretty much clear, or add good as it was going to get.
Disconnected the hoses and drained the rad one more time. Finally filled it with coolant. Gotta wait overnight for the heater core to fill and bleed out all of the air.
Next is to do final adjustment of the valves and confirm the timing. Then it's 100% complete mechanically and electrically.
