Unless you're not full to begin with, you'll lose more than a cup. Better
to drain it from the bottom of radiator, then refill with fresh stuff.

well, Replaced the radiator cap, and didn't make much difference.. it does
get a tiny bit warmer, but still goes back to cold after 10-15 seconds.
While I was picking up the Cap, also grabbed a 180-tstat and some Autolite
3923's (figured I'd replace sparkplugs while I'm under the hood)..
Remember reading before that you should probably drain the coolant replacing
the 180 t-stat?? Someone let me know what i'm jumping into here.. Done a
t-stat before on another car, but didn't require draining of any fluid (lost
maybe a cup or so on that car). Thanks.. Well let ya know on the
progress, or lack thereof.
