[Mgs] Coolant draining on an MGB

I've often wrestled with this. I usually flush debris out by running the
engine and flowing water through. However, any system that flushes tends to
put the output debris in the radiator! How about disconnecting the TOP
hose, feeding fresh water into the radiator, and ducting the output from
the waterpump into a bucket? Anyone tried this?
