Autoparts In

I got more auto parts.  I think I spent over $500 on them?  Turns out that I'll have to "burb" the radiator.  But the procedure requires knowing the engine temperature so it doesn't go critical.  My 1987 Chevy Van only has a dashboard light that I'm not sure if it's hooked up right?  So, I've got gauges for the battery, engine temperature, oil pressure and a tachometer.  I'll be filling the radiator to the top with water.
