Hey fellas does the 79 HJ 45 H motor have a bleed screw or bolt to bleed the radiator after flushing it.?

Can't you just take the cap off?
Or do you mean to bleed the block?
There is a take off for the heater pipes on top towards the back - you could open that if you've got air trapped.

I usually just find a loading ramp or a steep up hill so the radiator cap is the highest point. Take the cap off with it running and wait for a thermostat cycle or two.

That’s how I’ve done it in the past. I’ve also had cars that have had a little screw….. I just release it until coolant flows out then you tighten it back up. Just thought this might have it somewhere hidden.
