radiator flushing 87' 5KSQ

Take it out of the car and run water through it every way you can.

2nd best is to open it top and bottom and run lots of water down through
it.

it might just indicate gravity - it's sort of hard to run water two feet
uphill through an unsealed opening.  try sealing the hose to the bottom
hole with duct tape (!), then what happens?
