    could be a shot to hell water pump impeller. take the t stat out, put the housing back on with the hose on it, then take the upper hose off the rad, start the car, coolant should pump out the top hose. if it dont the water pump is dead, or somethings real clogged up.

    Water pump is new and engine just had a full rebuild. When the t stat is out and i put my spill free funnel on the radiator i can see the antifreeze go down as i rev the engine so i know there is circulation
