Re: [FWDLK] Radiator caps



Mike:

     My 56 Fury calls for a 14# cap, but I'm using a 7# cap.  It works fine.  I believe that the 14# cap will allow the engine temperature to stay at a cooler temperature while running the engine at high rpm and out put such as during racing.

     The bottom hose on the radiator is the intake for the water pump.  If it is collapsing, I would suspect the radatior cap to be not releasing the vacuum created when the engine cools off.  Collapse of the bottom hose is prevented by a spring inside. Of course, an old hose will swell and collapse easier than a new one.
