Hey, when you're "old" you have to expect these sort of things!!!

I haven't been able to find the correct radiator cap to allow a proper

different due to the x-flow radiator.

You need the seal around the outer rim of the cap, plus the 'long reach' 
cap, plus the 7-9lb pressure. Not an easy combination.

Has anyone found such a beast? If so part # & supplier would be most 
appreciated.

BTW - You can have a 'short reach' neck put on when rebuilding the 
radiator, which might help availability. (I found this out after having 
my rad recored, with long neck)

Cheers,
