I don't have the additional outlet on my header tank to go to the top of the rad. What does that do and what am I missing out on by not having it?

There are small lines from the tank. The one at the cap is obviously the pressure overflow. The one that goes from the top of the radiator to the top of the tank is an air bleeder line. This lets the air at the top of the radiator bleed up to the top of the surge tank. Thus all of the air should go to the top of the surge tank and any pressure will bleed air off at the cap before coolant. It works great!

I'm going to buff mine out this winter.
