One thing to note with PWR, or some or most aftermarket is can be tricky with fitting a bleed tap.
I ordered my PWR with a -4AN fitting on the top for air bleed, not sure if thats the normal or if they have a barb, or if some have taps?
To bleed the air out, as its lower then the filler neck on the motor, if you just had a AN cap on it, and undid that, it will just overflow and or suck air in before you can get your air tube on, so you need a tap of sorts.
You may need to fit a -4 ect ball valve, but as the fitting on the rad is very close to the chassis (no room above it) may need a 90 deg elbow or fitting if you want to run a short hose between rad and ball valve.
I have a a drybreak fitting on mine, but a ball valve will be much cheaper and work great. plastic taps just be carefull of the temps.
