Re: Brrrrrrrrr....cold in my CAV....

Cliff,

All the suggestions here are good although I don't believe anyone has suggested wearing a coat and/or waiting for global warming.

Here are three pictures to help. Bleed valves could also be added in the heater lines or the main radiator hose instead of to the radiator itself. Also note the brackets to anchor the top of the radiatior. AutoFutura has add on brackets to do the same job. Finally raising the rear overflow catch tank in the engine compartment will naturally get rid of a lot of air in the system especially if you let the car idle with the nose down.
