Well it is done. And the cooling system seems to be working correctly for the moment. Only really tough part was remembering how the belt routed. We didn't draw it and it slithered completely off by time we were ready to reassemble. no manual and no internet access. Finally figured it out, and just confirmed we did it correctly. You guys are great - hopefully I can help someone else sometime.
So... if I have no modding plans, would it be better to go to aluminum elbows or just keep the plastic? I'm also considering buying a 1997 Bonneville for a commuter car and it will have same issues. but for future maintenance? The OEM plastic lasted nearly 10 years.
Did the bleed valve til it sprayed, made sure overflow was filled, test drove, needed coolant in overflow, added. Added again this morning. Less this time. I'll keep check, but do I need to do another bleed?
Thanks again, to everyone, for the quick help. I was nice and toasty this morning.
