Ralph,
On your final fill you should run car with the cap removed until the thermostat opens. You will know when this happens because the level in the upper radiator tank will drop and should begin to bubble. With the engine off check levels in both the upper tank and the recovery tank. The level in the recovery tank should be at the full hot mark. If not than fill to this mark. Don't worry about air, it goes from the bottom hose below upper resevoir cap to a junction with the plenum air bleed hose and from there to the top right hand corner of the radiator. There is an air bleed access plug on top of the radiator at this location. Hope this helps.
