- Amici, beware of having the only radiator cap be on a neck welded onto the t-stat housing. You need for the Radiator cap to be on the Low pressure side of the water pump which is immediately after th

- I had almost the opposite set up on my Spitfire. The radiator was very low. I put a high pressure cap on the radiator and sealed the pressure relief. I used an in-line cap in the hose from the t-stat

- Joe, once you leave the T-stat housing (including the hose to the radiator) you're OK. I've got a similar setup in my car, but after replacing the radiator I use the cap on the radiator as my primary

- If you are using a cross flow radiator with the "Ford" type set up, inlet on right top outlet on bottom left, there is a bolt on thermostat housing that will aim the hose to the right. Look at a Mor

- I think you are way better off with a bleed screw on the thermostat housing and a surge tank connected to the suction side of the pump. Amici, beware of having the only radiator cap be on a neck weld

- I agree. I just discovered the suction side of the water pump link a week or two ago. I already have the bleeder in the thermostat housing but was having great difficulty getting the pump "primed" af

- Centrifugal pumps are never "self-priming" in fact they need a net positive suction head (NPSH) in order to operate. In other words, they don't suck. We get away with using them inappropriately in a
