A buddy of mine ran a transmission shop for years. He recommended with my hotrods (since they sit for several months over the winter) to start the...
Every 1 lb pressure of the cap raises the boiling point 3 degrees. 7 lb cap raises boiling point 21 degrees. Plus coolant raising boiling point to...
I bought a Summit Racing HEI for $100 or so. It uses OEM cap rotor and module. That way if I'm out some where, every Napa is going to have parts.
