some of the rads you can fill on rad others use expansion tank mate, be easier to change your expansion tank (the fluid chamber thing at top right of engine bay).  best thing is stick a pic up

Link doesn't work! Sounds like a 1.5-1.8 radiator to me. Most of the big block engines have a seperate expansion tank via which you fill the coolant system up. A pic would confirm it.
