Yep,
I defer to the master. Dick knows his concourse stuff, and lots of
other arcane Tiger knowledge.
I completely forgot about those other goodies. I removed the radiator
cap and replaced it with a Stant "Lever-Action" one to be able to open
it when really hot and pressurized by releasing the pressure first.
Learned the hard way when my Mustang was very hot, and I opened the cap
to add water on the way to LAX bound for England, and got my arm
scalded. :-(
Thanks, Dick.
