Sam, I got the job done, it was easy, but how long it will last is anybody's guess. I at least don't have a drip any longer. ( Right now ) I can't really tell if water is traveling in the upper hose. The lower hose is hot, the top ( back of firewall ) is cool. It seems the flow is just not right..? I did bleed the system, put all the water in it would hold with the front down, rear up ( driveway is at a slope ) then I started it, and water shot out, and I let it fast idle until all the bubbles were gone from the screw vent on top of the radiator. I have a serious missing at low idle 800 to 900 RPM's. I have to run it up to a thousand to level it out...? Can't find a vacuum leak... any ideals..? Thanks in advance, Lyle
