  OK, I see what you meant.  If you're going to go to the trouble of
installing a plug at the high point, why not put in a hose instead, and run
it to the side fitting on your exp tank?  Put the plug in the lower one that
you're using now.

  Cheers,
  Rusty

  I was thinking that the plug that I would install in the -16AN elbow on
top of the waterpump would be only for filling the system, but it would
appear that if the hose went from the side of the expansion tank to that
"highest point of the engine" fitting, as coolant came out of the bottom of
the expansion tank and into the lower water pump inlet, it would fill the
system, and the air/bubbles would come out of that highest point and go into
the side of the expansion tank.  Should work.   Thanks, Rusty. <snip>
Take care.

Sounds eerily familiar - I like, too, like this approach.
