Not really, The funnel someone else mentioned would be a big help , Mine doesn't have the bleed screw someone else posted either..I have a fairly steep personal boat ramp in my back yard that worked just right... part of the problem was air trapped in the low place between the catch bottle and the chamber under the radiator cap.I also loosened the top radiator hose until it ran water under some pressure....loosening cap would have worked but the Sam Adams was beginning to work on me..I don't remember anything else I did..
All this brought back memories of my old t-bucket hot rod with a 409 chevy,the radiator had to be filled thru the hose to get it full and I built a radiator cap assy with upper hose attachment on a thermostat housing plate to make it work..
