Edelbrock intercooler question

[Mustanggtvert32907]

So recent got my car back from upgrading fuel system noticed now after pump for intercooler turns off the fluid is low but if I let it cool and open the filler the fluid fills back up into the over flow where it should. Am I just not letting the car cool off or do I have an air pocket or possibly something else?

thanks for any input

If you’re opening the bottle without the pump running, it should leak fluid all over the place. The neck of the bottle isn’t the highest point in the system.....

I was thinking the same thing, when I open mine with the pump off nothing comes out.

Needs some love then.
Bear in mind, the pump will shut off if there’s a lack of prime. You may need someone to cycle it on as you pour coolant into the bottle.
Once you think it’s full, Chuck the cap on and squeeze the intercooler hoses vigorously (with the pump still running) to force any air into the bottle. Rinse and repeat as required.

It was vacuum filled during install and the pump runs constantly with the car on, primes when you open the door and after you shut the car off. I'll look into it though. The level also never really changes whether its running or not.
