Try the bleed valve. Is there a pipe you can do it on that can be easily replaced? You can always put a plug in there if it doesn't work. My worry with that would be reliability. How many times can you push that button before the o-ring gives out.
argument for valve: o-ring is easily replaceable
devil's advocate: but it's exposed to higher than normal temps when racing

Otherwise run to Napa, Red Rooster, Oreillys, etc...and run a bleeder screw like a brake system pointed anywhere from 9 oclock to 3 oclock. Should work pretty well that way.
Could just splice a metal tube into your rubber hose and thread it into there. Granted it will include having two more clamped sections in the hose.

You just need one of these. It makes burping coolant easy.

Ok, there is some weird going on. When I turn the key to run, the tach bounces around from 2000-4000 and the spark plugs fire constantly. Then when I crank the car, the tach is dead and I get no spark. WTF?
