All done.
I bought from Harbor Freight a liquid pump.
It pulls oil out of tranny or motor, gas from tank, anti freeze from filler cap.
For $3.99 it is worth it and I have used it quite a few times.
It took less than 5 minutes to pull out 2 gallons of green from 77 radiator cap hole the other day.
New 180 thermostat is in and car after idling 20 minutes was at 200 at dash.
During the week I will blow out and hose out the dead leaves that are stopping air flow in between the 2 radiators (condenser & rad)
