Where do you get non preassurized raidaitor caps, I want one that looks nice like maby chrome or polishable steel or polished arleady, I know i can get replacements from like carquest but they have caution stickers and stuff on them. I coulda bought 1 at a carshow I went to for 1.50 and it would have been polishable although it was nothing special.
the 1 on the chevy leaks bad as the gasket is missing.

I must ask, how can you run with a non-pressurized cap?

with a non preasurized cooling system, most all old cars like my '51 Chevy had them and I'm running stock running gear. instead of having the spring that moves up and down, and opens up the blow off, theres just like a dome in the center where the spring would be. I thought I had a broken cap when I first pulled it but, later found out it spoda be like that but, with a gasket.

Thanks ,I didn't realize that. i thought they all were pressurized. I don't work on the old stuff at all. Mike
