Default Radiator pressures

Hi Terence,
When restoring a C15A cmp I recored the rad with a vintage style core. the only thing to keep in mind is the older rad use a lot less presure than todays rads. I run a 8psi rad cap on the chev but I also run a overflow/recovery system, the differance being the cap runs 2 seals on a recovery system. The recore job cost AUS$350 some 15 years ago & has had one clean out last year before the trip to Corowa. Due to the size of the tanks on big rads if you run too higher pressure the tanks blow out.
Euan.
