Radiatotor Overflow. 120-130 1966

Hello,

If you bought your radiator cap and thermostat from a Kragen, Pep Boys, or Auto Zone type parts store, you most likely got the wrong styles.

If unchanged, your radiator should take a 1" tall radiator cap and most stores only carry the 3/4" tall radiator caps. Which means if you do have a 3/4" tall cap installed, it will not seal the radiator, hence the constant leak out the tube.

Secondly, the correct style and temperature thermostat is not easy to find. I carry 165° for my customers carburated Volvos and I have to special order them.
