I know the modulars have a different fill/burp method than the 302s but can one of these help?

That is awesome! Since we fill at the coolant crossover, I have to deal with trying to not spill, and trying to get the system burped of all air since the crossover is higher than the radiator and reservoir.

The shop doing the exhaust is going to vacuum fill the last bit of coolant today, but I'm still going to buy one of these for the future.

the zero spill funnel should be perfect as long as the fittings fit and it comes with more than a few. You just fill it up and start the car and as it runs the air goes out and it keeps filling. When your done you close the valve at the bottom and take it off and its full.

Car is looking good! I have the 555G2 on mine, and they seem to hook well at my stockish power levels.

Dude, like the wheels and new rubber.!! did you get the coolant burped? Curious about your experience. I heard an idea that someone had once of just elevating the front of the car enough that the air finds its way to the top where it needs to release...the overflow tank. Not sure if that's a valid way to do it. So I'm curious.

Thanks! I actually had a shop vac the system to remove the last bit of air. You are right about the process but I was having difficulty, as my coolant was up to the bottom the of the reservoir but even with the front raised, there was coolant in the cross over. Ended up adding about a gallon, even though it didn’t seem that low. I’ll try the vac fill thing that was posted but if I ever had issues again I would gladly pay to have a shop do it.

Had a pretty good birthday, wife got me a Procharger license plate holder and a suction mount for my GoPro.

I still need to change the fuel filter but haven’t made it a priority because as soon as the weekend ended the weather here got crappy again. I also placed an order with LMR for an SCT X4 so I can data log.

Took a break to play Mr. Mom this week as our sitter had surgery… got a bunch of parts Ill post tonight. Quick question though how much R-134 do our cars take when empty, and can they be recharged without jumping the low pressure switch?

Thanks man, i have always done it that way but some internet mechanic said the compressor needs to be running and the switch prevents that when empty…

A little confused by the list… different amounts between 94-96 all engines and 8 cylinder 4.6?
