Thexton has an adapter (#356IIRC) for your garden hose to go into heater hoses. remove stat and reinstall housing, remove one heater hose, place adaptor into hose, attach a 4' length to nipple, flush into container until it comes clear. drain radiator and block. the block has 2 plugs. one on driver's side (9/16 swivel) and knock sensor on pass. side (7/8 deep socket). make sure the knock sensor get torqued to 15 foot lbs. refill with 50/50. then 3 months later get angry about intake gaskets leaking coolant. LOL
