Reply to "Bleeding the radiator"

Possibly the simplest way to bleed air from the Pantera is to use Lisle's # 22150 fill-funnel, which attaches directly to the surge tank with a custom cap-adapter. Fill funnel & start engine; as the thermostat opens, the extra water in the funnel will disappear into the engine & the air bleeds out automatically. This tool was reviewed in POCA newsletter last year, then verified by another member in a later issue. Cost-$22 retail. FYI, 2 yrs ago I bled the cooling system in my Pantera in the conventional way, then drove it 550 miles to 'Vegas, with speeds reaching 145 mph held for over ten (10) minutes, After cooling the engine, I bled a little more air out.... This is NOT an easy task the old way!
