As you are probably aware--I just got a new radiator in my '85 GL. The new radiator is stamped 3/95--kind of nice to know that someone, somewhere is still cranking out parts for these things. I was referring in an earlier post as to the installer's method of bleeding the cooling system being to stand the front of the van "on it's head" to actually bleed the coolant of air from the rear. I checked up on this--and the cooling system did indeed still have air in it--the trouble is, I have just been out trying to bleed the system per the instructions in Bentley, and after an hour, I'm still getting coolant with bubbles in it. I think I have gone through at least two quarts of coolant and still can't get the air out! Am I taking on air into the system this quickly? I'd think I would be blowing steam out the tail pipe if my head leak was that bad! Happy Solstice (belated), Donald Baxter Atlanta, Georgia
