hi, my name is dick spencer and i live in garland utah. i race a 80
monza in e/cbga and through the help of the list i t ran good( 190mph)
and handled good(thanks lsr385) for the advice on putting castor in  it.
BUT it did some things i could use some opinions on. first run it blew
the radiator cap off. figuring i just hadn't tightened it i ran it
again, blew the radiator cap off again, so i safety wired it so it
couldn't come off , instead it blew the radiator hose that goes to the
water pump off. the cap is mounted on the engine since the engine is
higher than the radiator. i took the radiator cap off while the engine
was running and water gushed out when i rev the engine. i also checked
the head gaskets and the were ok.   thanks in advance  dick spencer
