Before bleeding the cooling system, you might want to visually check the level in the coolant reservoir when the coolant level light is blinking. Your problem might be a bad connection to the sensor. The coolant level light on my 87 behaves strangely--if I start the van by turning the ignition switch immediately to start, the light will continue to blink after the engine is started even though the coolant level is fine. However if I turn the switch to the run position for a few seconds (I usually just wait for the fuel pump to do its thing) then all is well. I suspect it's an electrical problem somewhere in the instrument cluster, but for now I've trained myself to turn the switch to run for a few seconds. -Mark McCulley 87 syncro westy 74 retro
