Got it all done. Easy enough. Jacked it waaay up and I think the radiator cap neck was higher than the core hoses. Ran it for a very long time kept adding until no more bubbles. Hopefully, she's good. Took it for a spin and it seems fine. Hopefully this cures the cold radiator cap and gurgling. Thanks, guys.

Update: haven't heard any slushy slushy in the morning! Seems all the air is finally purged. What I did was jack it up then let the wheel down on blocks then re-jacked it another time. Got the radiator neck higher than the core hoses.

Glad to hear! Does your cap get hot now?

Which side?
Oh, I've done all that and more before. Just never seen or heard of a cold radiator. I'll just swap it out and go from there. To burp I always jack the right front way up and run it without the cap. Seemed to work fine after the core and a few water pumps. After 20 years of ownership, she's starting to show her age. And I just ordered a Jegs ypipe for it too. Figures.
