Yep. On FEs, getting the last little bit of air out can be a nuisance. I've had good luck by parking the car with the nose up at a nice angle, run it so it gets hot, and then loosen the petcock on the top of the radiator that ERA puts on there, close it up, and then loosen the water temperature fitting on the intake manifold, and then close it up. Hopefully air will come out by doing this. Then loosen a hose at the heater at the firewall -- sometimes air comes out here and sometimes it doesn't -- I don't know why. Drive the car, then repeat once more and you should be good to go.
