I've been looking into a swirlpot to help a little with engine temps. I saw that you're supposed to run one of the lines to the stock coolant bleeder location. I was wondering what everyone with greddy style manifolds are doing due to them not having a coolant bleeder port? If you just cap off that port on the swirlpot does it still work effectively? Sorry if this has already been covered but I couldn't find a definite answer to this.

i actually moved the ground from the top of the water neck. drilled and taped that screw hole and it worked perfect

I never thought about that, good idea. Where did you move those grounds to?

i plugged the top overflow on this one and am using the overflow on the radiator.

i have (3) 8an lines going to each port on the intake log, to the swirl pot and a 12an return to the radiator. havent had the car on the road yet but holds temp at idle at least...

Mine is like that too except I just ran a longer hose from the radiator bleeder down and under the shroud to the swirlpot.
