Nice! Took a similar approach recently w section clearish hose, funnel and long drill or dowel to actuate the valve. Took a few tries, but appears to have removed all of the air, ran a track day w no issues.

The little adapter made by dedicated motorsports is such a handy tool, and at only $15 it's cheap enough that anyone with an LT4 should have one!

I bought the adapter but it has no O-Ring or I don't have one, and it just made a mess but then I understand that street cars this really shouldn't be a thing that is necessary to do as any routine.

Was the O-ring inside the adapter? When the one I used arrived, the o-ring was inside the adapter, and it needs to go around the bleeder port on the car.

Can we use any gm radiator coolant for the supercharger, or is it specific?

Ty, just did this as well. Ran the pump for 4 minutes. Also checked my bypass valve and loosened it about 1/4 turn.
