Have you fixed that line from the pump to the manifold????????????

Most likely you have a bunch of air in the block/heads------and the air will expand more than liquid and cause that bubbling-----------

You can reverse fill it by removing the upper hose and pouring the coolant into engine until it reverse filla the radiator to the top

not yet but it's on my list but just not at the top - - - I'm almost sure that the heater core leaks because it's not connected - - - another BB fix that I'll have to contend with at a later date but right now I'm just trying to reap the benefits of my hard work and it's not cooperating.

If I keep cranking, warming, cooling and filling, will I eventually get the air bubbles out?

Glad you got it filled & operating, Em.

Just curious, Jerry, how do you do this "reverse fill" with a thermostat in place?
