I know that both my van (85 GL) and my dad's van (84 GL) have that bleeder
valve, so count two more pre-'86 vans in on that.  How many other pre-'86
owners have had the pleasure of bleeding their cooling systems and used this
mystery valve?  Is it possible that Bently made a mistake?  What does the
Haynes book say?  I think a second opinion may be necessary here.....
