I just wondered - that's the only way I knew how to do it. I always added coolant very very slowly and paid really close attention to things. I think I'll do this weep hole thing when (if?) I get my new 360 ready to run. Thanks very much.

hi dave! how have you been?

I honestly never worried about a weep hole. I know how much coolant my motor takes (its listed in the service manual) and i can get darn near all of it in there but for a 1/2 gallon or so.

After i start the car with the radiator cap off, there is enough coolant to cover up the water pump vane so it is circulating thru the motor - just not thru the radiator- until it warms up.

I watch the coolant level and add as required and that usually starts to happen as the thermostat opens.

I really think these guys are making way too big of a deal about this weep hole issue. but thats my opinion.
