OK, I do appreciate the help, even though it was not what I was expecting! I
had no idea it was so potentially dangerous nor so apparantly -----upable. It
sure sounded easy on the kit from the auto parts store, in fact if it is as
dangerous as you all say, then the companies are NUTS to sell those kits, with
those instructions on them, to the general public! And, several of my
mechanic friends said that the symptoms I had were probably from low coolant,
is why I was willing to try it myself...

I will have to find the location of the low-side fitting elsewhere it appears.
My confusion stems mainly from the lack of any fitting at all on what looks
like the low side to me, and the fact that the fitting that fits all the kits I
saw, is on what is apparantly the high side.

I'll pay one of my mechanic friends to do it and pick his brain so maybe I'll
have a better clue next time.

Thanks, guys, I do appreciate the wake-up and I wasn't meaning to be a
smart-***!
