go out and buy a Stant LevR radiator cap. start engine, turn heater
to max hot, warm engine fully, pull the lever on the rad cap a couple
of times (it'll make a bunch of whooshing/boiling noises), let engine
cool down, top off radiator and over flow. done.

if you have the thermostat out for any reason, drill a 1/8" hole in
it, and it will bleed the air out automatically.
