Uh oh, fail
I broke the bleed screw on the top T for the coolant system. Haha. Now what? Like now?
Also my temps after the flush are wierd but that may be due to the bleeder screw leaking. Cruising at 60mph I had 195.8F

Replace the whole "T" fitting with new.
Anything else - and it will let go on the road if you try to fix it.
There is a known defect with the older "T" fittings.
OR
See if you can find a brass T fitting without a bleed screw and replace it.
I never use that damn bleed screw or ever touch it.
I bleed by raising the coolant tank - remove the coolant tank cap and run the engine at 1,200 RPM for 8 minutes. Then put in coolant to replace the air that got bleed out.
Put the tank back down - and done.
Others will disagree - but this works for me just fine.
