i have a dumb question:
me and my tech had a big discussion about vented vs non vented radiator caps. as we just set in a new 22" us radiator plus fan shroud plus new water pump for my cooling issues of the 69 super bee with no coolant recovery tank, 383 engine and no air condition - this discussion came up!
the car was running on colder days at 205° and on warmer days up to 210° and in stop and go above.
tech said, with the vented cap (stant 10331) the system can't produce any pressure as it immediately goes off and a non vented is needed to build pressure and run cool.
i say, with quickly rising temperature the little vent closes and the system gets pressure and everything is ok.
so, what's the issue with the different caps and what came original with these cars??
