I have a Superformance Cobra w/Ford 460 (mild - 485hp) . The coolant temp increases to about 100 c when driving below 20 mph. The plastic coolant recovery tank below the metal expansion tank expels coolant, typically at stop lights, just after shut-down, etc. The thermostatically controlled cooling fans DO come on automatically. The vehicle has less than 1,000 miles on it. The vehicle runs at about 70c when driving 40mph+. The engine is equipped with an Edelbrock mechanical water pump. The car is brand new to me, so I don't know history.

Questions:

1. What should the pressure rating be of the radiator cap on the metal expansion tank? Where can I purchase a replacement?
2. What is "typical" running temp? ...is 100c higher than norm in traffic or at stop lights? (I don't know thermostat open temp)
3. Are there "high-flow" thermostats available for my application? Where can I purchase?
3. What do you suggest I look at to fix other than radiator cap and thermostat?

Any help / insight is appreciated,
