i know where the radiator drain is, i just reinstalled the water pump and when i was filling the radiator up, i over filled the radiator along with the coolant/overfill reservor. so my question is how do i undrain or take out some of the liquid in the overfill reservor (left of the batter when facing toward the car).
thanks for any help

Unscrew the radiator drain and let some of the fluid drain out. You could do nothing and just let it overflow. It's far enough away from the optispark that it shouldn't cause a problem.

From shoebox' site:

Remove hose #27 from the radiator end..
Put in container, etc...it should drain some out..
[You might blow into the fill tube to 'pressurize' it..]
