If you are not running the OEM header tank, the best location for the 
radiator pressure cap is on the top of the tank connecter to the waterpump 
inlet.  Typically this is on the right side.  The vent tube should be as 
high as possible on the tank and this can be done with the stock Generator 
location.  This will be the lowest pressure point in the cooling system and 
is the optimum location in any case.  Putting the cap on the thermostat 
housing or in the outlet hose  to the radiator is the worst possible 
location.  I've tried all these locations.  Go with the current theory, you 
won't be sorry.
