Dave, recall that the water pump does
not "suck" the coolant up from your radiator below, but it "pushes" the
coolant through the block and then into the radiator and back up to your
pump. With that short a distance (Head) to overcome, I don't forsee any
problem keeping the pump primed as long as you get the system filled with
coolant. One advantage of my "Plugs Up" installation is that it puts the
pump lower (relative to the block and radiators) and so if there is any coolant
I can pump it.
