What I believe was happening was the water in the engine block was filling the coolant lines on the heads to the crossover and the return hose to the radiator and causing the water in the radiator to drop like the 7 ". As I kept filling and the radiator it started to drop less and less. I just didn't like the way it was working every time I turned the water pump on. I figured since there was no thermostat I could fill the rad right up and purge all the air out of the system. When I did this and turned the water pump on the water dropped down in the radiator and when I shut the water pump off the water rose up and overflowed out the radiator.

Anyhow, If you want the adapter, you can borrow it and down the road when there available send me mine back. I might still try do some experimenting with the adapter this summer. If that works for you P/M me and I'll send it to you.

I appreciate the generous offer. If this Meziere thing doesn’t work out I may take you up on that.
