a time to fill and a time to bleed.
Since this subject just came up on the list and I just got through with it, I thought
I would share a new (to me) no stress, no mess method for filling and bleeding. There
may be nothing new under the sun, but there are things we haven't discovered yet.
Here's the link to The Samba page:

And it's courtesy of Andrew Libby of Flagstaff, just up the road from me.
It's ingenuous, simple and cheap. I made one Friday, used it the same day and it
worked great.
No more leaning over a hot engine, trying to pour coolant in with one hand while
revving the engine with the other, put down the jug of coolant and cap the tank
without dropping the rev's and having it spill hot coolant all over.
