Recovery tank is empty at start.

Rad cap is 16 pounds. Cap sits at highest point of the system; I use an filler adapter that bolts on the intake manifold.

Pulleys are standard size.

Thermostat has 1/8 inch hole in it to vent air during filling.

The thermostat is 165; temp is 170 if outside air is below 70.

The radiator is marginal; it the one EM used before changing to aluminum ( I started the build long ago ). I have a new aluminum one ordered from EM. Scott and Mark have had good success with this alum rad.

Thanks,

Jim
