couple updates....

took the new rubber top off of an MTC monovalve and put it on the old OEM solenoid. works fine but still having low heat issues. bled the system today with vacuum on the small rad hose on the top of the rad but haven't driven it. got about an extra 3/4 gallon into it. earlier had put in a new circ pump but that didn't make too big of a difference. car is up on ramps and the top rad hose pushes fluid now instead of air. i'm sorta wondering if i have a fresh air blend issue going on with my tempid heat.

put new alt-wp belts on. replaced the broken L bolt and missing adjuster. can't believe how quiet the motor is now without the squealing from the old loose alt belts. which of course meant taking off the ac and ps belts. PITA but whatever. at least each system has a threaded tensioner.
