New to the LT1 Hey I just got a 1997 Z28 from a buddy that has been sittin for about two years. It was in need of a tranny rebuild and some TLC.
So after having the tranny rebuilt, I am needing to flush the radiator. When I got the car it was bone dry and dirty. So how do I need to go about flushing out and refilling the radiator. It has been overheating. Thanks
Also I have changed the water pump and thermostat.

fushing is pretty normal. except for one thing dont get the Opti wet. and when filling make sure you bleed the system to get all the air out.
here is a write up pretty good, but for impala/caprice so you wont have some of the stuff. like #1 you have the home plate

oh to help bleed it you might want to pick up a drain **** http://impalassforum.com/noncgi/ulti...c;f=1;t=008968
