Pressurized Radiator.Advantage/disadvantage?

Posted by Neil Mylar on April 21, 1998 at 20:39:27

Met a guy the other day who had presurrized his Model A radiator.The upper filler hole was closed off under the radiator cap.A new filler hole was added to the upper part of the tank, just under the hood.He was using a pressurized cap with a overflow tube going into a plastic tank hanging on one of the radiator cross braces.I understand this allows the radiator to get alittle hotter before it would overheat.This sounds like a great idea for a touring car.I'd appreciate any comments.Also what pressure should the cap be?Thanks in advance.Neil
