Default Filling coolant on a non turbo classic

Did the search thing and trying to find the method for a N/A car is like trying to find the proverbial needle in a hay stack

All the threads I found talk about filling from the turbo hose

Is there a preferred method for the N/A engine?

Oops wrong section

However, a n/a related question is more likely to be spotted hear than in general tech

On my turbo i removed top radiator hose that goes to your coolant tank and fill from there. Not done it on my non turbo, but there's where i'd fill up from. Poor slowly try to avoid getting bubbles into the system by pouring too fast.

YeahI've done the method for the turbo car a few times, it's the turbo hose that goes to the back of the tank.

This is a mates car so I'm unfamiliar with the n/a's engine layout and you can't fill from the turbo hose, coz it ain't got one
