- Dave, You may just have it overfull, when cold the neck should only have about 1/2" of coolant. BTDT, more than that and it will self-adjust the level for you. Yes, 4lb cap but check to be sure you h

- I see that STANT has 4 PSI radiator caps. In fact, I find there are three. P/N's 10205, 10208, and 10281. Anyone have a source to tell them apart? Greg G. Osseo, MN ** triumphs@autox.team.net ** Arch

- Generic radiator caps will not work properly on a TR3-3B radiator. The filler neck is longer and the bottom of the cap does not seal. The wrong camp acts the same as no cap. You need to get a special

- The TR3/4 long neck rads use a 1" deep cap. The rads that do not have the long neck use a >" deep cap. It seems that many of the replacement aluminum rads with the long neck were designed to use the

- Should there even be one there (mine has no rubber washer up top)? Remember this is not a closed/recovery system -- so the important (rubber) seal is the one at the bottom. I did add an upper rubber
