HOW TO FILL A DRY COOLING SYSTEM WITH NO AIR LOCKS

I have done this in the past...

Remove one heater hose from the manifold.

Put a funnel into the hose and with the rad cap off and the fitting the hose came off of open start adding coolant into the funnel.

The funnel should be the highest point in the cooling system.

Fill till coolant comes out of the hose fitting on the manifold

Cap that off and keep filling till the coolant comes out of the rad cap.

Re attach the heater hose.

start the engine.

Watch the coolant level in the radiator.

If the car is on a slight up hill tilt that helps too. Even front up on ramps is good
I should be more specific.........

The engine is on a run stand with no heater hoses. WP and intake heater ports are plugged. Thermostat and housing are not sealed yet. Rad frame and rad will be installed after oil priming and manual rotation.
